The “continuous conflict and jealousy within the flock can be a most detrimental thing. The sheep become edgy, tense, discontented and restless. They lose weight and become irritable.
…But whenever I came into view and my presence attracted their attention, the sheep quickly forgot their foolish rivalries and stopped their fighting. The shepherd’s presence made all the difference in their behavior.” A Shepherd Looks at Ps. 23, p29
It still comes back to you. As long as I am with you I will not have the petty jealousies and rivalries that plague me when I am not by your side. You are the only one who can give me contentment and peace. You are the only one who can provide contentment with my lot in life. If I am focused on you and what you think and who you are as my protector, what difference does it make what other’s think or do. No difference.
It all comes down to perspective. You are the only one who can give me the proper, true perspective. You are the only one who can keep me from criticism and petty jealousy. Everything good and positive comes from you. Only YOU.
