Sheep Among Wolves

Good morning

Scripture reading: St. Matt.10:16

Worship song: Lamb of God

 

Meditation:

    According to wildlife biologists, wolves are highly territorial animals and generally establish territories far larger than they require to survive. They hunt and travel in packs and have remarkable powers of endurance. They are known to follow their target all day and night, if necessary, whereas sheep are prey animals and are largely defenseless against predators, naturally nervous, and easily frightened. Due to their nature, they flock together for safety. Sheep are humble, domesticated animals and are considered to be the most intelligent among all animals. Satan and his cohorts operate in the same manner as wolves. They lurk around day and night, trying desperately to persuade, trap, and lead us down the path of destruction. 

    Do not marvel but be vigilant and cautious because Satan and his ministers can transform themselves as angels of light appearing to be righteous. Satan targets his prey and is persistent in his endeavors. He will constantly tempt us until we either give in or resist him; until he is either successful in his pursuit or fails, but as long as our shepherd is Jesus Christ, we can put up a strong resistance against him and he will flee. Jesus Christ considers us sheep among wolves and therefore warns us to be as wise as a serpent. We should be cautious of the predators (Satan and his cohorts) clothed in sheep clothing because inwardly they are ravening wolves lurking around, disguised to beguile and deceive us. Let us therefore remain anchored in Jesus Christ, where we are safe and secure. 

Let's pray: 

    Everlasting Father, as we encounter trials and temptations, please help us to overcome them all. Deliver us, O God, from the plot and scheme of the devil and his cohorts. Father God, I pray we will not fall victim to betrayal and the deception of Satan and his cohorts. I pray, O God, for the spirit of endurance to withstand the wiles of the devil. Mighty God, I am grateful that neither man nor force can pluck us from your hands. I give thee thanks, precious Lord, for laying down your life for us, and I am grateful, sovereign Lord, for keeping us safe and secure against territorial wolves in Jesus mighty name. Amen.  

Keep safe and be blessed. 💖🙏
