Scammed. Tricked. Duped. No one wants that, right? But sadly, this happens all the time, to us, when we’re ignorant of what’s really going on around us.
In this episode, I share about an experience where I felt a level of anger toward someone that was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Through it, God showed me a vivid picture of what takes place when we allow our anger to rest on a person rather than correctly identifying the true Enemy behind it all. Remember, virtually everything Satan does, he does through people. So, we must be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, gracious and kind, knowing the secret to overcoming evil with good. We must keep our eye on the real battle at hand.
I hope this illustration can be as helpful for you as it has been for me. Plus, it’s just fun to talk about Anne Shirley, Gilbert Blythe, and spit-wads. 😉
Join me here for Episode 16 as we consider how to wisen up and defeat our one real Enemy…
