How can we get immune from flatter words?

  • “Say to wisdom, You are my sister; and call understanding your kinsman, so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words.” (Proverbs 7.4,5).

This will come off through Creator’s wisdom. When we take in Creator’s character and will, the real intention of the people come out easier. We can see through their appearance, words, etc. Although fascination in virtue of the supposed beauty of the person can come over us, if we don’t put behind us His teachings, but keep them in mind, even if something outside of Christ seems nice and good, we won’t give in to their charm.

Even if we are going through some temptation, we can come through it if we keep looking to Jesus (see John 3.14,15; Hebrews 12.1,2), inasmuch as:

  • “No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.” (1Cor 10:13).

So, let’s come under Holy Scripture’s authority, come up to Jesus, hear His voice and have a splendid weekend.
