We must strive to blend the wisdom of the serpent with the innocence of the dove. We are called to be discerning in our dealings with the world, while freely sharing the gospel and loving others, so clearly set apart that those around us either grow to hate us or become saved.

Matthew 10:16 Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

When this is the day you know that you are blessed to be under godly shepherding, pray for your elders. Every single one. Pray for them in every way you can think of, and praise God for them.
