their shepherds have led them astray
and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill
and forgot their own resting place. - Jeremiah 50:6 NIV
We have to be careful of the voices that we follow. There are many voices, even some well-meaning ones, that would lead us astray. They would lead us away from the peaceful pastures and the still waters that God provides for his people. There is only one true shepherd, only one that cares only for our souls and not for their own well-being, power or position. Only one. If we follow any other, we will find ourselves wandering over mountain and hill, wandering and wandering. Wandering and wondering why we have no peace.
