Cunning

"Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes…" - Ecclesiastes 7:29

In a forest there were many animals, birds and wild animals like lion, tiger, bear, leopard, monkey. The lion was the king of the jungle. All the animals and birds were happy. The fox wanted to become the king and went into the town and dyed his body white and his two eyes and four legs red and said, "I am the king of this forest." All the animals and birds were afraid of the new animal. A few days later the other foxes suddenly started howling. Immediately this king fox also forgot himself and howled. The fox's trick was revealed. Seeing this, the lion and leopard jumped on the fox and killed it.

The serpent was more cunning than all the wild creatures. So the devil spoke to Eve through the serpent and made her eat the fruit that God had forbidden. Because of this, Adam and Eve lost the glory of God. They left the Garden of Eden. received the curse. Next, in Genesis 27, Isaac tells Esau that your brother got your blessing by trickery. This causes enmity between the brothers. Jacob goes to his uncle's house. Then he returns to his country with his wife, children, goats and cows that he has earned. Esau comes to meet him. Now Jacob is afraid and bows down seven times and worships Esau. But when they were born, it was given that the elder would serve the younger. The fear of confronting his brother surrounds Jacob as he has been cunning in his life. It was dark all around. At that moment the darkness disappeared and the fear changed due to grasping God. However, there comes a situation where he had to worship his brother sevenfold.

Wonderful child of God! Some say they are acting wisely and are acting cunningly. Wisdom is different, tactics are different. When you act wisely, there is peace and happiness. If we get rid of trickery and walk wisely, we can see the fulfilment of God's promises, peace and happiness in our lives. People can be tricked by trickery. But let's keep in mind that God who sees the heart and he cannot be deceived.

- R. Salome
