A Gentle Reminder
As I looked outside this morning I saw two beautiful doves landing. This scripture came to mind. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matt. 10:16
We are to be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves. We do need to be reminded that we are sent forth as sheep but are going forth into the middle of wolves. When we go out into this world to work or do the things we need to do serving the Lord we are not always, amongst friends. There is a balance we are told to maintain, by being as wise as a serpent and yet as harmless as doves.
By your Spirit Lord let us walk circumspectly in this world, for we are in it but not of it. Give us wisdom in all of the situations we face today and the discernment to be as you were in this world. Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.
