Oblivious

I'm reading Jared Wilson's Your Jesus is Too Safe (review coming soon), and thought I'd share this gem with you this morning (from p. 120):

We've got toge to the place in our "sheepishness" where we trust our Shepherd as he leads us away from what looks like great places to graze and laze around. Because what looks good to us often turns out to be looming disaster. We're often oblivious to our own selfishness, ignorant of our own gracelessness. We think of ourselves before others. We're like a leaderless Israel, doing what is right in our own eyes, like stupid sheep transifxed on the small patch of green before us while the ravenous lion sneaks up from behind.
