That we are like sheep. We are like smelly, stupid, stubborn sheep. We are dependent on someone else when we find ourselves in a bind. Our job is just to sit back and follow and to be led to be fed. What a passive image that is.
Nobody dreams big dreams about being a sheep.
What gives is that this is just a little glimpse of who we are. We are dependent on God. We are often confused about his will, going in the opposite direction from where God wants us to head. There are enemies out there that we can't fight on our own and we need God to step in sometimes to protect us. But that doesn't mean we are supposed to be passive and sit back and take all this good spiritual stuff in.
