Stay Close

Reading through Jeremiah at the moment the thing that strikes me is how often the people of Israel forgot God. As they forgot God they drifted off and went of in their own ways into a world of idolitory.

The shepherd and sheep picture is so prevalent in the Bible. There is this sense from this picture that God says to his people  "stay close lest you stray" The 60/30 challenge is a way of staying close.
