If You Have A Shepherd - You Have to Move

Saturday, April 24, 2021

I'm sure you know it. "The Lord is my Shepherd..." It doesn't say "The Lord is my Farmer." If the Lord was your Farmer and you were a vegetable, then you wouldn't be going anywhere. A shepherd is one who leads his sheep through changing scenery - through mountains, valleys, deserts, plains, rivers, and then home to the sheepfold. 'The Lord is my shepherd' means your soul is to journey. You're not to stay in the same place, you're to be moving. You're to be stepping out and moving on. He will guide you. He can't guide you if you're not moving. Yet that's what most believers do after a while. They stop moving. They stop moving in faith, maturity, strength, love, prayer, moving in the Spirit, changing, growing, becoming. If God is your Shepherd, then you must be moving. It's His job to shepherd you. However, it's your part to move, follow, to go where you know He's leading you. Break out of your pen of spiritual stagnation. For the Lord is your Shepherd, and you need to get a move on.
