THE GREAT SLOWDOWN

Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

*Grindset is a mindset characterized by relentless striving towards goals, often involving extreme dedication and effort. It emphasizes a “never enough” and “always more” approach, focusing on achieving objectives at all costs. *

Sheep are DUMB.

Sheep are DEFENSELESS.

Romans 7:15 (NLT) I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I
do not do, but what I hate I do.

Sheep are DIRTY.

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Vulnerability is a catalyst for connection.
