Book Cover & Preview Text
. I learned many valuable lessons from this ordeal. I learned that situations cannot determine your wants. He makes available in or around you the necessary things to make it; in order for you to share your times with someone who needs to understand without; does not necessarily mean want. Want means to fail, or lessen. I shall not lack provision. Sheep commonly see grass is greener on the other side of the fence. When sheep look at grass right below their noses, they can see how sparse it is and notice the dirt and rocks in between the blades. But, because they are built low to the ground, when they view blades of grass at a distance, they run together as to appear very thick, plush, and green. It is an optical illusion that the grass is greener over there. So, because it appears greener and they think there is more of it over there; they become discontent with the “sparse” grass that they have around them and develop the habit of always desiring to eat the grass on the other side of the fence. Understand this; many of us have messed up because we are too close to the ground. Praise lifts you! We mess up what we have trying to get what you don’t have.

About the Book
After reading this book it is our desire for you to testify to the fact that our Shepherd knows better than we…where we should go…what we should do while we are there…and the best direction for our next haven! One of the greatest downfalls as it relates to the Shepherd and sheep’s relationship is that we most times are confident that our ways are the best ways; when in reality our ways only produce dry pastures, running waters, and unwelcomed attacks from our enemies. Upon learning the need and importance of our Shepherd we would immediately see that life is so much sweeter when we acquiesce to how the Psalmist David begins his testimony.
