We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture

"Know that the LORD, He is God! It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture."

Psalm 100:3

The sheep of His pasture ! What does His pasture mean ?  Did you know that shepherds take such great care in what the sheep eat ? Its not like they take them to any piece of grassland and let them eat it. In reading a couple of sites  it says that shepherds actually ensure that the sheep eat a variety of different kinds of grass, clover and small grains. There are those who prepare their own pastures and plant special grass and a mixture of other things for their sheep. They also ensure the perfect height of the grass.

We are His people and the sheep of HIS pasture ! He has prepared what we should be feeding on. Not just are we given the identity of being HIs people His sheep, not only are we under His protective care but we are the sheep of HIS pasture.  

When God prepares a pasture for us to walk in and feed on its definitely exactly what we need. He knows whats right for us. Just reading on how much detail human shepherds go into for preparing their pasture for their sheep , I cant  begin to imagine the depth and detail our heavenly Shepherd goes into for preparing pasture for us. 

He is God. It is He who made us. So He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what we need. He knows the timing of everything . We are His people and the sheep of HIS pasture. 

Eat Well ! :)

God Bless
