(Jesus continued) “Behold, I send you (12 disciples) out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16
Lord, You told Your disciples to go out and spread the gospel. You told them they would have authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. Now You are telling them that they are going out as sheep in the midst of wolves. They must be wise and innocent.
What a command Lord. One would think everyone would want what they had to offer but that certainly wasn’t the case. There were those that wanted to devour them. There were those that were totally against them. Hard to understand but it was true of Your life Lord and it was true of their lives.
Thank You Lord for being with them through each trial they had just as You are with us through each trial we have.
Thank You for helping us be all You want us to be. We are not alone Lord. You are right there beside us every step of the way. Oh how we thank You for the assurance You give us. Thank You.
Thank You Lord.
