anointing-head-of-sheep

I must admit that I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought "He anoints my head with oil" was a figurative language for God that kept the psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel: ''Anoint my head with oil.''

The sheep catch their heads with brambles and they die trying to untangle themselves. There are horrible little flies that like to torment the sheep by means of eggs in their nostrils that turn into worms and propel the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes even to death.

Your ears and eyes are also liable to torment the insects.Then the shepherd anoints his whole head with oil.Then there is peace.This oil forms a barrier against the evil that deals with destroy the sheep.

Do you have moments of mental torment? Worried thoughts invade your mind again and again Do you hit your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil?

He has an infinite supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind and eyes on Him today and always!

There is peace in the valley!

May our good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!
