Round up.

Sheep aere very difficult to move across a large paddock when you have no dog or other helper with you. The sheep dodge and run through the gaps, and usually go everywhere except the direction you want them to to.

One of the most stupendous pieces of rounding-up ever achieved is actually going on all around us right at this very moment. It is being achieved day by day by God, as he rules over the world, but just think of some of the problems he has to deal with:

Rebellious angels, billions of disobedient ignorant people, demons racing about stirring up trouble, Christians living inconsistent lives, religions and cults surging here and there... wars, plagues, storms, disasters and diseases... the list could fill the page just as a summary!

Yet God has promised to sort out every problem, bring the Church to perfection, remove the demons, punish the wicked, and restore the whole planet to beauty and health! Does this amaze you? Humans are unable to remove crime from their cities, or stop drugs, or prevent smoking, or cure alcoholics. God intends to do all this, and a lot more!

Ok boy, I want you to run madly at them and scatter them everywhere!

But that's what I always do?!

The Bible says "For it pleases the Father that in Him (Jesus) all the fullness should dwell."
(Colossians 1:19 New King James Version)
