Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves”
The definition of distraction: an object that directs one’s attention away from something else. Distractions are weapons from the enemy designed to redirect our focus. For example…
A “wolf in sheep’s clothing” is described in one of Aesop’s Fables when a wolf dressed himself in a sheepskin and mixed among the sheep in the countryside and preyed upon the sheep for his daily meal. His disguise fooled the shepherd and the sheepdogs until the night he was herded into the sheepfold overnight. The next day a “sheep” was chosen for slaughter for a special feast and guess which one was chosen? Yes, the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”.
The moral of the story? Don’t judge things based on outward appearance. Never allow yourself to be deceived by first impressions. Be attentive to small details and most importantly be led by the Holy Spirit. Never be so distracted that you muffle that still small voice. The Holy Spirit shows you things to come. He is your Guide inside who leads, guides, and directs you to the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Beware of “weapons of mass distraction”.
