A Psalm for Today: Psalm 79:13

A Psalm for Today: Psalm 79:13
So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; we will show forth Your praise to all generations.


The people of God are sheep. Not everyone is a sheep. In Matthew 25:33, we see that He will separate the sheep and the goats. He will set the sheep on His right hand and the goats on His left and the King says to the sheep, "Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." (vs. 34) Later in vs.46 it says the goats will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. We are not sheep unless we have been born again and are led by the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. The Good Shepherd comes that we might have life and that more abundantly. Those who are sheep will give thanks unto Him forever. He is worthy of our praise from this generation and forever.
