Matthew 10:16 I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
When Jesus sent the disciples out to spread the gospel, He warned them about the opposition they would face... even though they were being sent to the Jews!
God is the one who knows who will give us the most opposition – sometimes it is going to be the people we least expect it from!
As long as we do listen and obey God, we should be on track to do His will without losing the battle.
