Something to Ponder: Psalms 23:2 Phillip Keller, once a shepherd himself, in his book A Shepherd Looks at Psalms 23 (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1976), relates that the strange thing about sheep is that the strange thing about sheep is that because of their very makeup, it is almost impossible for them to e made to lie down unless four requirements are met. First, due to their timidity, they must be free from all fear. Next, because of their sociability, they must be free from friction with others of their kind. Third, they must be free from flies or parasites if they are to relax. Lastly, they will not lie down unless free from hunger. It is only the shepherd who can provide release from all these anxieties. As our Good Shepherd, the Lord meets all these needs for us, so that we can lie down in green pastures, with our souls restored by his card.
