| Isaiah 10:1-11:16, II Corinthians 12:11-21, Psalm 56:1-13, Proverbs 23:6-8
“Don’t associate with evil men; don’t long for their favors and gifts. Their kindness is a trick; they want to use you as their pawn. The delicious food they serve will turn sour in your stomach, and you will vomit it and have to take back your words of appreciation for their ‘kindness.’” Proverbs 23:6-8
Wicked people offer nothing for free. There will always be strings attached. They like to suck people in and make them feel important, like they are doing the person a favor or that they like them so much. It’s crazy, they can then manipulate a person by calling in the favor or guilt them into doing as they say; you just feel like a fool for trusting them. Steer clear of these people; they’re users and their only concern is how you can serve them.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be discerning. Protect me from deceptive people who want nothing but to use me. Thank You for alerting me to this type of person through Your Word. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
