All we like sheep

We really are like sheep. We are usually focussed on what is directly ahead. We are narrow-minded. We are stubborn. We are sheep.

The frightening thing about that statement is this: Sometimes we will be quick to follow something or somebody without really thinking things through. We are gullable. We are open to suggestions (even the best of us, the most stubborn, will follow if it seems right to us).

There was once a man in the desert. He was SOOOO thirsty, and he happened upon a small shed in the middle of nowhere. Inside the shed was a hand-pumped well. Beside the pump was a jar of water and a note:

CAUTION!! Use this water to prime the well!! If you do, you will have all the water you need! If you don’t, you will surely die!

What would he do?? The well looked so rusty, like it hadn’t been pumped in decades. Would he risk the ONLY water he had to try to get the pump to work??

What would you do? INSTINCT would tell you to drink the water and move on!! LOGIC would tell you that you might want to listen to the note!!

Would you be a SHEEP, or would you HAVE FAITH??
