Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - The 23rd
Psalm
I like to think of “thy rod and thy staff” as my rues,
regrets and remorses. Then, when my memory brings up a rue, a regret or a
remorse, I can imagine that as the Shepherd’s rod and staff, letting me
know not to go there…i.e., bringing the lamb back from danger of hurt or harm
to safety.
The lamb (my mind) is always going to go gamboling, frequently
landing where it oughtn’t…that’s why it has a Shepherd.
The key is to never forget the Shepherd...which I do when
I beat myself for going gamboling where I oughtn’t.
Thank You.
