Wisdom of snakes

I send you forth as sheep in the

midst of wolves therefore be as wise as

serpents and harmless as doves

in this verse,it is commanded  to be wise as serpents।The word wise is the Greek word which

means prudent careful cunning Discerning

thoughtful intelligent or sensible ।This

word perfectly depicts the behavior and

actions of the snakes they are very

careful Discerning intelligent and

prudent in how they act

 We need to be as wise as serpents। We need to

learn from the behavior of snakes

let's consider the

behavior of serpents for a moment and

see how this relates to us being wise in

the way we live our lives।

first when serpents move into a new

territory they don't announce their

presence instead they lay low stay quiet

and blend into the environment

as snakes evaluate a new situation they

see what kind of opportunities are in

the area they identify places of shelter

they find hiding places to protect

themselves from the attack

they observe and see where they can find

the easiest prey when all these facts

are assimilated the serpent is ready to

act।There is wisdom in a

Serpent's behavior from which we need to

learn।

lesson when God tells you or me to do

something new it is wisdom for us to

move carefully into that new phase of

Our Lives,a common mistake is to act too

fast acting hastily before all the facts

are gathered and assimilated can lead us

to make erroneous decisions in fact one

serious mistake can cause us to lose an

opportunity altogether it's better to

lay low stay quiet and blend into the

environment for a while learning from

the sights and the facts we observe।

second serpents are wise enough to know

when to seize the moment and strike

knowing when to act is as important as

knowing when to lay low when prey passes

before a serpent that serpent knows it's

time to strike if the snake Waits too

long the opportunity will pass and the

prey will reach an irretrievable

position lesson

when it's time to act put your fears and

emotions aside and seize the moment I

have seen so many people pray and pray

for divine opportunity to come to them

they wait for that golden moment to come

and at last it does

a great door of opportunity stand

directly in front of them it it's time

to act but rather than seize the moment

and walk through that door they pause

just a little bit longer

God brought them exactly what they had

been waiting for but because they pause

they lost the opportunity when they

finally got around to saying yes

it was too late

you and I are not brilliant enough to

figure out the right timing for

everything by our own logic so be very

careful not to move too fast and be

careful also not to delay when the time

is right to act

open your heart to the spirit of God and

let him begin to teach you when to lay

low and when to strike
