"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
From God's perspective we are all like sheep. The book is divided into 3 parts.- Part 1 - ten characteristics of sheep
- Sheep need full-time supervision because ...
- they are not trainable
- they are afraid to drink from running water
- they are led, not driven
- when they are on their backs they cannot right themselves
- they are not burden bearing animals
- they must be sheared at the right time in the right season
- their vision is impaired when they are not sheared
- they are defenseless
- they need his daily touch
- Part 2 - it is our nature to want our own way
- Part 3 - we need to see the provisions God has made on our behalf
The kids enjoyed the way the author divided the chapters into segments of: characteristics of sheep; a shepherd's care; characteristics of people; and the shepherd's care. We did a little storyboard for the characteristics.
