If i were a literal sheep.

1 Samuel 17:28
(And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.)

Everyone has their own calling and they are placed where God puts you. Do not ever be intimidated by the size of your calling whether it be large or small. David, is probably the most popular shepherd in the Bible, and is known for being a shepherd before he was King. And yet David had just a few sheep that were under His care.

If i were a sheep, according to the way the scriptures describes how he cared for them, I'd choose to belong to David's flock. Because of His appreciation that his job to care after those few sheep was his inspiration to know how God took care of him.

Your ministry is not going to be based on how many fruits you produce, as a number. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. Mark 4:8 these were the products of the seed that fell on the good ground. God gives the increase. God promotes as He sees fit. God brings up and puts down.

Christ told John the baptist, when he was asking is Jesus was the Christ. and Christs answer simply stated that here are my fruits, and blessed is he that is not offended in me. blessed is he that is not offended in the way that i place them, blessed is he that does not get angry with me because i don't give them a gigantic following. do not seek a life that you envision.  seek to produce the best fruit that you possibly can.
