Counting Sheep…
If you can’t sleep, count sheep.
I guess the presumption is that it bores you to sleep. In my reading this morning I came across this passage of scripture.
John 10:4&5
When he has led out all of his sheep, he walks in front of them, and they follow, because they know his voice. The sheep will not follow strangers. They don’t recognize a stranger’s voice, and they run away.
I can’t imagine a more important job for a shepherd than to know his sheep and how many he has. It seems boring, but I am glad my shepherd keeps track of his sheep and he doesn’t fall asleep doing it. The grass is always greener where my Shepherd leads.
Love,
Duane
