[Manna - December 15]
The Lord is my Shepherd. Psalm 23:1
THE Lord, in calling His people His sheep, chose
a very significant emblem of the character He would
have manifested in them.
The most noticeable characteristics
of the sheep are meekness, docility and obedience
to the shepherd to whose care they fully entrust
themselves....The true sheep will carefully listen for the faintest accents of the voice of the Shepherd—i.e., he will treasure up His words in his heart,
he will study His providences, and he will cultivate
that communion and personal fellowship with the
Lord which are his privilege.
Those who thus abide
in Him can never go astray.
"They can never, never lose their way." Z. '02-365 R3116:2
