In The Presence of My Enemies

Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5

In the painting of "Fear No Evil" the sheep are coming down a steep hillside into a shadowy valley below. In this one, the same steep hill can be seen in the background but the sheep have come out into a wonderful sunny meadow with a stream wandering through it. The sheep are happily eating the tender green grass.

There are outcroppings of rocks around the edges where two wolves are peering at the sheep. They would like very much to have mouthwatering lamb chops for dinner.

Because the sheep are in the care and protection of the Shepherd they are not concerned about the wolves. The Shepherd is not visible in the painting but the sheep can see Him and they are content.
