We are like sheep, in the midst of wolves. My opinion on that part is that we are prey for the wolves. They seek us for a meal. They can devour us in many ways: deceitfulness, violence, persecution and etc. We are supposed to be wise like serpents, so we don't get deceived. To be wise like a serpent, we need knowledge of God's Word. If we're knowledgeable in God's Word, we can not be deceived. So, that would be one less way of being a wolf's prey. You can continue not knowing God's Word and you can get tossed around with every false doctrine of man or you can know the truth and inherit God's Kingdom. That's your choice.

Also these scriptures tell us, to be harmless like a dove. If we let man tempt us to violence or if we are deceitful to others, we are like a sheep, who just got a bite taken out of him by a wolf. Once the wolf, gets his bite on the sheep, the sheep is as good as dead. We can resist the wolves, by not letting them tempt us to violence. If they hit us, we can just hit them with love and not with violence in return. Because if a sheep tries to fight a wolf, can the sheep win? No, they can't. Maybe you can beat up your enemy, but they're still winning over you, if you decide to reward their evil with evil. If I hit someone who is mean to me, even if I seemingly win the fight, they have a spiritual victory over me. They have a spiritual victory over me, because they caused me to sin and I'll regret that later.

We also need good fellowship. We need to stick together and share our knowledge with the other sheep. Because if one sheep wonders off from the flock of sheep, they become an easy target for the wolves. One sheep in a world of 100 wolves, can not win. We need each other to build each other up. If you're a follower and you're doing great, but have no one to uplift you, then you're going to get discouraged. If you get discouraged, you could give up on your walk.

Don't let the wolves, eat you for dinner!

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive those who've wronged, us. Please help us, to be as wise as the serpent and as harmless as the dove. In Jesus, name. A-men!
