Have you ever noticed the powerful animals that nations and sports teams choose to represent themselves—lions, eagles, panthers, and the like? These symbols often inspire strength, courage, and a fierce spirit. But when Jesus talks about His followers, He uses a much different comparison. Instead of tigers or falcons, He calls us sheep. Yes, sheep—those vulnerable, defenseless creatures. It’s a comparison that may not seem flattering at first, but it’s one that holds profound meaning for us today, particularly when we think about our need for guidance, protection, and the importance of truly hearing the voice of our Shepherd. Read the entire article by Rob Haynes to learn how we can cultivate the ability to hear God’s voice in our lives, even amidst the noise and distractions of the world.
