Last night I was hanging out with some ladies from church and we were discussing the bible. One of the elder ladies had pointed out that we are like sheep. Sheep? Of course I have heard this numerous times but it hasn't been explained in I guess simple terms for me to really grasp the whole picture.
If we are surrounded with other believers in the herd, as sheep are in the field, wouldn't it be harder for the devil to distract us?
This morning I decided to look up pictures of sheep on the web check out these pics. If we followed what the scriptures say and realized that we are Gods flock and if we surrounded ourselves with other Godly women wouldn't it be harder for the devil to tempt us ladies? Look at this picture of a flock of sheep now if we think of how a farm works the sheep that go astray get eaten. Just like us as believers if we go away from the flock of believers and go on our own what will happen to us? The very same thing we will be eaten up by Satan and he knows that we are weak on our own.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Gen 100:3
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
