Psalm 23 - “How the Shepherd Sustains” (Day 2)

Let's address the elephant (or, in this case, sheep) in the room about Psalm 23. We don't like to be dependent on anyone but ourselves. In our eyes, being compared to a helpless and foolish creature prone to wander isn't a badge of honor, especially in a culture that applauds self-sufficiency and encourages hiding our weaknesses. Yet, the more determined and defiant we are to go our own way, the more we display our stubborn "sheepish" qualities.
