Sheep!

I have gone astray like a lost sheep;

Seek Your servant (Psalm 119:176).

SHEEP, you may be surprised to know, are not as innocent as they look. They’re actually wily outlaws, prone to wander and happy to do it. 

I know. I used to raise sheep. 

Some would attribute their behavior to stupidity, but I doubt it. I’ve seen them look over their shoulders to see where I am before they vamoose. I think they’re cold, calculating, ruthless rebels. 

But then so am I. “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love.”

So…come after me, Lord, when I high-tail it. “Seek your servant.”
