In this episode of First Light, Chuck reflects on the nature of sheep and their relationship with a shepherd. Sheep don't always understand what the shepherd is doing, and because of that, they often resist—confusing guidance for restriction and protection for loss.
Chuck connects this truth to our own lives. When God's direction doesn't line up with what we want, it can feel disappointing or even wrong. But often, that feeling isn't because His plan is bad—it's because we don't yet understand what's best for us. Not What I Wanted is a reminder that trust is built in the unknown, and that the Shepherd sees the full picture even when we don't.
