Daily Scripture: Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Our Lord warned his disciples to prepare for persecution. They were to avoid all things which gave advantage to their enemies, all meddling with worldly or political concerns, all appearance of evil or selfishness, and all underhand measures. Christ foretold troubles, not only that the troubles might not be a surprise, but that they might confirm their faith.
