Posted by “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.” Matthew 10:16-17 (NKJV)
Did you know sheep have no chance of survival when they are in the middle of a wolf pack?
– Sheep cannot run fast
– They do not have sharp teeth, claws or a powerful jaw
– They cannot scare an enemy with a loud roar or howl
Sheep have only one hope to defeat the wolves and that is by staying close to their shepherd and crying for help when in need. And without the supernatural protection of the Good Shepherd Jesus and His power to defeat the wolves sent to destroy Christians they cannot survive or see their communities changed.
Here is the fact, our weakness is our greatest strength!
“My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
