*Thanking the Shepherd-Psalm 23*

* Introduction
ILL-Video clip
The sheep is the not the most glamorous animal.
We would agree with Ken Davis that we would not want to be a sheep.
They are smelly, timid and dumb animals.
We live in a world that is anti-sheep
Everyone wants to be in charge
We would want to be compared to a more independent animal
But no matter what we want to be, people are sheep
We are needy, lost and prone to do stupid things.
This is where God steps in-he knows us
When we stop trying to be another animal, then he can be our Shepherd
We need to be thankful that he is our Shepherd
When we study Psalm 23 we see why.

* Conclusion
We have a lot to be thankful for

Being a sheep may not be glamorous.

I will follow him anywhere he goes.
