    *As Joel Preston says: -Sheep are stubborn. Sheep can get easily lost because they tend to go their own way. Like sheep, believers have a tendency to go their own direction rather than follow the divine Shepherd’s plan. So Ps 119:176 says, “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; ...read more

    Job sat on his dunghill and reflected that he was not alone in his pain. Everyone awakes to the same reality–hard work or hard study and every day’s the same thing, and nothing you do ever seems to make a difference.
