MY SHEPHERD --ANNOINTER & SANCTIFER

One's shepherd whether for a sheep in the field or as God's sheep, His own people, need to be used for the purpose the Shepherd intends. Annnointing is often used. 

"Thy (the Shepherd) anointest my head with oil;"  (Psalm 23:5b, KJV)

That's CONSECRATION!

This anointing releases the aggravation, frenzy, irritability & restlessness and replaces those tendencies with quiet feeding and peaceful 

contentment. Shepherds in the field smear the oily solution.

Similar to sanctification, maybe? Living for a holy purpose allowing growth in divine grace according to God's intentions through the Holy Spirit.

Such a change allows someone in need to live in comfort. (Haddon Robinson)
