At night, they rested safely in a fenced enclosure that protected them from danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One night, a wolf appeared and began prowling around the sheep\u2019s enclosure. The wolf couldn\u2019t reach them because he was too large to slip through the fence. However, tragically, some sheep \u2014 driven by their own fear and panic at seeing the threatening predator \u2014 made the fatal decision to flee their protected enclosure, leaping over the fence to meet their death!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the morning, when the shepherds woke up, they found seven sheep lying lifeless, which the wolf had killed, but strangely hadn\u2019t eaten their flesh. They also noticed that all seven dead sheep belonged to just one shepherd, while the sheep belonging to the other shepherds were completely unharmed by the violent attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the shepherds \u2014 who believed that everything happens for a reason, or in other words, in the Law of Cause and Effect \u2014 perceived that this wasn\u2019t just a coincidence but a sign meant for them. So together, they decided to seek the advice of the village\u2019s elder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After they shared their story, the elder replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThe behavior of animals mirrors the thought world of humans!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The wolf\u2019s cruelty \u2014 killing not for survival but out of pure viciousness \u2014 reflects how you treat your fellow men!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And the sheep whose fear led to their death reveal their own shepherd\u2019s lack of faith!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shepherds looked down at the ground in silence, and the sage continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou must remember that no harm will come to those who truly trust in God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone\u2019s faith remains steadfast, never letting doubt or fear undermine and weaken it, no \u2018wolf\u2019 prowling around him can cause him harm, for as it is written: <strong>\u2018He who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him!\u2019<\/strong> (Psalm 32:10).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For us, the lesson is crystal clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There are many \u201cwolves\u201d in our world. But the way to protect ourselves from them isn\u2019t by obsessing over them, which only creates anxiety and fear that play right into their hands, but by strengthening the protective covenant that naturally exists between our spirit and God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because we can only be harmed by what we ourselves allow to enter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is similar to viruses and bacteria that constantly circulate around us, yet they can only harm us when our immune system weakens, <a href=\"https:\/\/letmyspiritgo.org\/en\/how-to-stop-being-angry-and-afraid\/\">often due to fear and anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The path to developing and maintaining trust in God begins with learning to <a href=\"https:\/\/letmyspiritgo.org\/en\/who-is-this-i\/\">distinguish between spiritual consciousness and emotional consciousness<\/a>. This distinction is crucial because our spirit naturally aspires upward and inherently trusts in God completely, while our emotions often disturb and disrupt this natural connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why understanding the difference between spiritual consciousness and emotional consciousness is one of the most important lessons we need to learn in the new world, and it\u2019s what the LET MY SPIRIT GO course is dedicated to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A True Story: In a small European village, a flock of sheep grazed peacefully in a pastoral meadow.
