and didn't need anyone to tell him about human nature. He knew what people were really like.
John 2:25 GWT
Beloved, God don’t just determine to lay curse on any one that trust in man but He did it for reason, and the reason can easily be found in the book of Genesis chapter 6 verses 5 down to 6, when He looked down in to the heart of man but all He could find was wickedness, and continuous wickedness in the heart of men. Despite all this He still loves man but never will He trust man. That was why He warned us as His people, that we must be as gentle dove and as wise as serpent, the two character He’s used in that place are very significant to man’s journey in the land of the living; Dove simply represent Love and carefree lifestyle, but Serpent represent subtlety of this world, and cunning lifestyle. Though we are in this world but we are of God, and heaven is home, nevertheless, we must be wise, least we are trapped and knocked down by the wickedness of man. That’s why HE further told us to watch and pray least will fall into temptation. If Samuel as strong as He is could fear the Saul, because of the wickedness in the Heart of Saul (1 Samuel 16:2) we too must not trust man no matter what they are to us today. For man will always be man. Therefore beloved, let us watch and pray continuously least we fall into temptation of man.
Shalom
