THE SEED
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, therefore, be wise as a serpent and innocent as doves” Matthew 10: 16. KJV.
The above scripture instructs us to act intelligently and wisely in decision-making and everything we do. God is sending us out to preach the gospel, to tell people about His works, and to give them hope about the enjoyment in heaven and the coming of Jesus Christ, but we must act wisely and intelligently. As Christians, always ask for directions and guidance from the Holy Spirit in everything. Being wise as a serpent means to be observant and beware of men; the serpent will assess a situation to identify places of shelter so they can settle in a new environment. They find hiding places to protect themselves from attack. Before you speak, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart and direct your speech. Being innocent as doves means Christians should not give the unbelievers any legitimate reason to accuse them of injustice or immorality. Keep your reputation as clean as you can. Christians are sent out to bear witness to him (Jesus Christ) in the world. So, be wise and act according to the directives of the Holy Spirit.
BIBLE READING: Matthew 10: 12- 17.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, grant me the wisdom to act wisely and intelligently in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.
