Psalm 23 ("The Lord is My Shepherd") Humility Quotes

A rod and a staff are basically the same thing; they're used to guide sheep when they stray off the path and away from the flock. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins picked up on this image in his poem "God's Grandeur," where he writes, "Why do men then now not reck his rod?"

This means: "As long as I continue to trust in the Lord, things will continue to work out in my favor."
