Don't Be Bulled!

Have you ever read any of Aesop's Fables?

I ran across one today about four bulls who were best friends. They always kept close to each other so that in the event they were ever in danger, they would face it together. They traveled together, grazed together, and huddled together at night to sleep.

One day, a hungry lion spotted the four friends and became determined to catch one. He was no match for all four of them at once, so he followed them and watched carefully, hoping to catch one alone. Every time he saw one lagging the least bit behind, he would sneak up and whisper to him that the others had been saying unkind things about him. This, he did with each bull until finally all four began to feel suspicious and uneasy around one another. Each thought that the other three were plotting against him.
When the lion succeeded in breaking the trust among them, the bulls
went their separate ways……. and one by one,
the lion devoured them.

I’m sure you can see the analogy here.
Our enemy (Satan) would love nothing more than to divide us and break the trust among us in the body of Christ. He knows full well that if he can just get us separated.....that he can come in for the kill!

Let’s not allow the devil to play out his wicked scheme!
Be on guard!
Don’t gossip - overlook offenses - pray with and for one another...Don't go around looking to be offended or looking for faults in others.....because we are all human....we all make mistakes....plus, there is a 100% chance you will find what you are looking for....Satan will make sure of it.
Don't under estimate his ability.

Be determined to stick together.....so that we may accomplish great and mighty things for God.

Tracy,

Good timing on this post. I'm dealing with some people who are easily offended and sometimes I think they are just looking for something to complain about. It's frustrating. So I pray. For them and for me. For grace.

God bless
