Well, they done gone and crowned a shepherd who ain’t worth a hoot! His ol’ self is just askin’ for trouble—ain’t gonna do nothin’ but mess things up. When critters start runnin’ wild, he’ll just sit there scratchin’ his head, wonderin’ why the sheep done up and scattered! Ain’t no faith in that feller!
It’s today’s verse ya’ll!

“So, Paul and Barnabas, they done preached in the town and won some souls fer the Lord. Then they struttin’ on, facin’ hardships and temptations, tellin’ folks to stick with Jesus. Finally, they circle back home, happy as a possum stealin’ corn. And all they gotta say is: ‘Keep on believin’, y’all!'”
“Y’all gotta keep each other’s spirits up, ya hear? ‘Cause if’n we don’t encourage each other, we’re gonna end up like them hard-hearted folks in the wilderness. And that don’t sound too pleasin’ now, does it?” – Hebrews 3:13 (interpreted in hillbilly slang)
“Listen up y’all! The Lord done said to Moses, ‘Hand over yer authority to Joshua, cuz he’s the one to lead the folks. Put your hands on him and give him a good blessin’ so he’ll be full of the spirit, ready to take on what’s comin’.”
Ya see, folks, I reckon that ol’ John guy done told us that the Good Shepherd, he’s the one who lays down his life for his sheep. Yup, he’s the one who’ll die for ’em varmints so they can all have a chance at livin’ happy lives. Yeehaw!
“Dear Lord, I reckon y’all could fill me up with all kinds of knowledge about your will and give me some good ol’ discernment to rightly reckon things. Ya sure do know what’s what, so help me walk in a way worthy of you and bring forth some doggone good fruit, amen.”
“Well shucks, ya know a feller’s gotta be right chirpy with his mouth if he don’t wanna git hisself in some tarnation trouble. Them folks who’s right cunning with their words, they’s the ones who come outta that there pickle jar smelling like a rose.” – Hillbilly version of Proverbs 12:13.
“That thar King David, he sure was a good ole boy! He took care of his sheep and his folks, and the Good Lord took notice. So the Good Lord made him King of all them Israelites, and David led ’em with a pure heart and a strong hand.”
“Lordy, save us from them sinners and varmints, ’cause they just ain’t right in the head. Help us out and bless us with some good ole’ fashioned justice. Y’all know what I’m sayin’? Preach!”
“Ah pray the Good Lord ‘ll make ya all as famous as a coon up a tree, and give ya strength ta keep on keepin’ on fer Him. That way, folks will see Jesus in ya like a possum’s eyes in the dark.”
Looky here, y’all gotta spread the word of the Lord like butter on bread. How can they believe if they ain’t even heard? So get to talkin’ ’bout Jesus like a hog in slop, ’til everyone knows the good news and can call on Him for salvation. Praise the Lord and pass the biscuits!
“Now ah tell ya, ef’n a varmint do git hisself riled up, he gonna hex ya good. So take er easy, y’all. Fer a calm and collected mind is what’ll keep ya on the straighten arrow. Jest like that there Preacher-man said in Ecclesiastes 7:12, ‘Wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.'”
Hey, y’all best be fixin’ yer minds on what really matters and gettin’ rid of them distractions that ain’t worth nothin’. Y’all gotta be sober-minded and set yer hope on the grace that’s comin’ to ya. So get to gittin’ and start preparin’ for what’s ahead!
