The anointing of the head with oil isn’t just a poetic image; it carries a powerful meaning. Shepherds would anoint their sheep with oil to protect them from flies that could lay eggs in their noses. If untreated, those eggs would hatch, tormenting the sheep until it harmed itself by bashing its head against a rock.

God does the same for us—His anointing protects us from the torment of lies, distractions, and spiritual attacks that try to invade our minds. But we must also take His Word, which is already in our hearts and mouths, and actively fill our minds with it. When God’s truth saturates our thoughts, it shields us from the traps that could lead us to harm ourselves spiritually.
