Know that the LORD is God.
Psalms 100:3 (NIV)
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
In our natural state we are sheep without a shepherd, imprisoned in a pasture of darkness and destruction. When Yahweh rescues us he unlocks the gate and sets us free from our prison. We enter his infinite pasture of unlimited possibilities. Best of all, Yahweh becomes our shepherd. He does this because we now belong to him, we are part of his precious flock. He treasures us and wants the best for us because he loves us. So, he lets us graze in his pasture, we eat from his goodness, the tastiest grass in the universe. We drink from his stream of living water, a river of life that flows from our depths.
No matter what happens to us in this age, we are the sheep of his pasture. In time justice will be done and we will live in his perfect pasture of love forever.
