“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves,” Matthew 10:16 (NKJV). These instructions of Jesus are incredibly insightful for guiding us into effective spiritual influence. “Wisdom” means good judgement, discernment, acumen, prudence and foresight. “Harmless” means gentle, honest, with godly intent, and virtuous. Wisdom blended with Harmlessness maximizes our spiritual influence. Many sincere believers have little to no impact in their witness to unbelievers precisely because they ignore what Jesus said about presenting truth to others. Dogmatic arrogance doesn’t work, but genuine love combined with good judgement is practically irresistible. LORD, help me to always deliver Your truth in the way You commanded.
