Wolves.
Clothed in a wooly cloak of false humility.
Their words say they are part of His flock.
You want to believe it.
But something isn't quite right.
In a moment,
they turn on you.
Leaving you
bloodied,
broken,
blindsided.
But I hold on to Christ.
My Shepherd.
Knowing that HE can see the wolves.
He will heal my wounds.
He will guard me,
warn me,
keep vigilance over me.
Sheep rest.
Content with the Shepherd.
Not concerned
with
Wolves,
in Sheep's clothing.
Colossians 2
Beware of Requirements Invented by Humans
"8 Be careful not to let anyone rob you of this faith
through a shallow and
misleading philosophy.
Such a person follows
human traditions and the
world’s way of doing things
rather than following Christ.
9 All of God lives in Christ’s body,
10 and God has made you complete in Christ.
Christ is in charge of every ruler and authority.
18 Let no one who delights in false humility and
the worship of angels
tell you that you don’t deserve a prize.
Such a person,
whose sinful mind fills him with arrogance,
gives endless details of the visions he has seen.
19 He doesn’t hold on to Christ,
the head.
Christ makes the whole body grow
as God wants it to,
through support and unity
given by the joints and ligaments.
20 If you have died with Christ
to the world’s way of doing things,
why do you let others tell you how to live?
23 These things look like wisdom
with their self-imposed worship,
false humility, and
harsh treatment of the body.
But they have no value for
holding back the
constant
desires of your
corrupt
nature"
