“It is the weak who are cruel; gentleness can only come from those who are strong.” (Leo Roskin) - Daily Bible Reflections July 11,2014

SHEEP AMONG WOLVES

 

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” – Matthew 10:16

 

The multitude got hooked with the phenomenal Twilight Saga. It is such a potent blend when romance is sandwiched in the choreography, conflicts and clashes of vampire clans, werewolves and humans.

       In the real world, emotional vampires exist. They suck dry all your patience, exhaust your care and every virtue that you have. With them, you feel like a “sheep among wolves.”

       Let’s compare the two vampires that we know.

       Twilight vampires are super quick in stalking their prey. Emotional vampires are super quick in invading your privacy.

       Twilight vampires have super powers in taking advantage of their enemies. Emotional vampires have super powers in taking advantage of you.

       Twilight vampires are closely knit as a family. Emotional vampires are closely knit to their selfish intent.

       Beware, people of God, vampires lurk around. Be shrewd and gentle amid wolves. The Shepherd of your souls is always there to make a way for you! Obet Cabrillas (kpreacherobet@gmail.com)

 

Reflection: “It is the weak who are cruel; gentleness can only come from those who are strong.” (Leo Roskin)

 

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. (Psalm 23)
