Sheep Need Flocks
Sheep need flocks, not cages, hutches, pens, stalls, or tanks. The flock helps to keep the sheep safe, comfortable, warm, fed, and gives a feeling of belonging. Sheep like to be together.

Sheep Are Different
God knew that and that is why he use the sheep as an illustration of human beings. "All we like sheep have gone astray." Sheep wander. Sheep get lost. Sheep are stupid when it comes to directions, and what to eat.

Sheep Are Helpless and Defenseless
They are stupid about direction, what to eat, where to eat. They can't cross a turbulent stream to get to good pasture. They get sick easily and need constant care. Treat your sheep like babies, helpless and weak, for that is what most of them are.

Sheep Are Shy
Sheep won’t naturally chase after you. They won’t come when you call. They will basically ignore you. You don’t exist in their world. You are nobody. You have no reason to approach them except, as a stranger, to possibly harm them.

Sheep Are Naturally Distrustful
Don’t expect immediate results as a shepherd. A shepherd’s role has to be earned, not just assigned. Sheep will follow you when they get to know you and start to trust you.
