God doesn’t want us to know we’re being conned because we’re master con artists ourselves
He doesn’t want us to recognize deception because we know how to twist the truth. God deeply desires to develop godly integrity in each of us. He wants us to recognize the counterfeit because we’re so familiar with the true article. He wants us to be smart without being suspicious—innocent without being naïve. The challenge is great, so take it seriously. We, too, are sheep among wolves. I’ve been eaten alive a few times, and I have some “scars” to prove it. What I’d give to save you some!
It’s dangerous out there. My best advice, dear sheep, is to stick to your Shepherd.
