The rod and the staff of a shepherd signify many things in the life of a sheep...
Guidance and correction are two very important issue that can't be overemphasized in a life that is gonna go far in life.
Many a times we fall or even feel down, but the staff picks us up just like a sheep in a pit/hole
My friend, if you have anyone that's guiding your journey to avoid the pitfalls of people who has gone ahead, please cherish it more than gold.
