Mistaken Identity
By Mark Flippo
Proverbs 26: (MSG)
17-You grab a mad dog by the ears when you butt into a quarrel that's none of your business. 18-People who shrug off deliberate deceptions, saying, "I didn't mean it, I was only joking," 19-Are worse than careless campers who walk away from smoldering campfires. 20-When you run out of wood, the fire goes out; when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down. 21-A quarrelsome person in a dispute is like kerosene thrown on a fire.
22-Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy; do you want junk like that in your belly? 23-Smooth talk from an evil heart is like glaze on cracked pottery. 24-Your enemy shakes hands and greets you like an old friend, all the while conniving against you. 25-When he speaks warmly to you, don't believe him for a minute; he's just waiting for the chance to rip you off. 26-No matter how cunningly he conceals his malice, eventually his evil will be exposed in public.
The puss caterpillar got it's name because it resembles a cuddly house cat. While these insects may look soft, their outer comb-over (which some have compared to a toupee) hides small, extremely toxic spines that stick in your skin.
The main message in this one is, not everyone that seems harmless is. Have your Truth detectors finely tuned up. The only way for that to happen is through PRAYER. Don't forget that, or you will be hurt by someone that you did not discern clearly.
