3 How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you attack as if he were a leaning wall or a tottering fence? 4 They only plan to bring him down from his high position. They take pleasure in lying; they bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah ~ Psalms 62:3-4CSB
Sometimes, those around you filling your ears with flattering words and compliments aren’t always for you. Sometimes, they are your greatest enemy in disguise. See, the Devil doesn’t always show himself as evil. Sometimes, the Devil disguises himself as an angel of light. Someone on your side. Someone defending you. Excusing your flaws. Saying kind words to you to your face, but little do you realize inwardly, they are speaking evil to you and on you.
Here’s the thing. They may not always know they’re doing this. They may be blinded by society’s corrupt version of love. They may be deceived by the enemy and believe they’re doing the right thing. This is why you have to be on your guard. You have to be spiritually aware so that when someone comes into your life, you are well aware of who brought them and their purpose in your life.
Remember, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And the Devil is the father of lies. When you put these two attributes together, you get a deadly enemy.
Therefore, be on guard always. Don’t allow sweet words and seemingly innocent compliments to lull your spirit-man to sleep. Wake him up. Put him on high alert through prayer, worship, reading your Bible, and fasting. That way, when the enemy sends someone into your life with the intent of destruction, you will be able to spot them before they can cause damage to you and/or your loved ones.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be On Guard.
