Resting

The Good Shepherd stands in the midst of the sheep,
And He watches over them... safety to keep.
They do not fret or worry or fuss
Or question His leading, as do some of us.

They are at peace and rest at His side,
For they are dependent on His hand to guide.
We are as sheep, but often don't rest,
And scramble the Shepherd's plans for our best.

We can't run ahead or linger behind,
For sheep without leading are really quite "blind".
The sheep at His side who pay heed to His voice
Have learned how to "rest", and will truly rejoice.

"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice."
John 10:4 KJV
