“Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda].Matthew10:16 AMP Bible Gateway
Many things in the culture are designed to lure people into a trap if you are not careful. Knowing the Truth and studying God’s word will help you steer clear of bumps in the road or earthly potholes.
Following the world’s truth is a definite trap of the enemy. Not having discerning spiritual senses to recognize good and evil is another issue. For instance if you look through the lenses of the Holy Spirit it will shut the doors on many activities. Parents of young children need to be alert to ways the enemy can even work his schemes through television, movies, books and yes even in school. I don’t say this to be a ‘religious nutjob’ but to say the devil does prowl around like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour.(1 Peter 5:8).
Stay alert, don’t feed your mind with constant news feeds and if you are able, and I think most of us can, put down the cell phones and enjoy looking at the beauty of the world around you. Make a priority to pray always no matter where you are. Open your life to the Holy Spirit to direct your path and keep you from stumbling.
PRAYER: Today I choose joy over remorse and gloominess. I choose to focus on good and not dwell on the past or concern myself with the future. I choose to stay peaceful. Help me on this journey Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Thank you for the reminder. We are in the middle of getting out of a mess that a so called "friend" left us with. Please pray that we are able to get it cleaned up.
