Psalm 23 Podcast - Day 11

"On a silent retreat in Kentucky, I came across a sculpture of a shepherd kneeling beside a lamb. Since I had nothing but time on my hands, I stopped, rolled out a blanket on the forest floor, and began to simply look at the statue. It was a time of great stress and agitation in my life, and I was there desperately needing God’s help...God asked me to examine the statue. To see the posture, the demeanor, and especially the size of the Shepherd. And then to look closely at the lamb. To see the posture, the demeanor, and especially the size of the lamb. God was asking me to stop trying to be the shepherd. To see myself as the lamb who deeply trusted and felt safe with the shepherd." ~Craig
