Strength For Today By Earl L Douglass
The piece discusses Biblical views of sheep to illustrate human weakness and tendency to follow easy paths. It argues that sheep are foolish, dirty, and prone to straying, mirroring fallen humans who wander when a path tempts them, with emphasis on divine shepherding and steadfast care to resist waywardness.
