How To Live In This Present World

Matthew 10:16b "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." kjvlite

Point to ponder on: There is a principle to get a thing done rightly in order to get the right result in this life, find out.

You and I are likened as sheep in the midst of wolves in this world. If we are going to operate differently, we must operate with the principle handed unto us by the master of the universe. First, we must identify the attributes of a sheep in perspective since we live in the midst of wolves and fellow sheep. Sheep is soft-hearted, upright, elegant. Sheep is a meek animal. They are usually very quiet and gentle, holding themselves aloof from the world. In a herd, all the sheep tend to listen to their leaders and show esteem to them. Because of the obedient character, sheep are among the most popular animals beloved by mankind. These personality traits are expected in us who live among wolves in this world. However, if we are going to attain our highest goal as Christ representatives in this world we must follow the principle of 'be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves', which I will break down as follows:
1.be discreet in our plans: not likely to be seen or noticed by many people as we carry on with our plans until it is accomplished.
2. clever as we progress to execution: being intelligent and able to learn things quickly as we progress to attain our goals.
3. harmless to people in our dealings.
The principle given by Master Jesus when applied will make us master situations and attain our goals unhindered. Remember, sheep tend to listen to their leaders and our great shepherd is Jesus and to listen to Him is to follow His principle of operation in the midst of wolves to attain our highest goal.

Good morning. Enjoy His grace.

I celebrate you.
