Is the devil in your camp? Many of you may be thinking, what is this guy talking about? Take a moment and think about all the people who are in your inner cycle. This includes close friends and family. Do all these people have your best interest at heart? Do they only want what is best for you or is there something in it for them?
I am reminded of the story of Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of Jesus twelve disciples. He was in Jesus’ inner circle; and yet, he would betray him.
You can read more about Judas’ betrayal of Jesus in the following scriptures: Luke 22:3-6, Mark 14:42-46, and Matthew 26:14-16. Here’s the short version; Judas agreed to set up Jesus for capture for 30 pieces of silver. Judas identified Jesus with a kiss and was arrested. Jesus would later be crucified.
Note 2 self: Just because we have allowed people in our inner circle does not mean they have our best interest at heart. The story of Judas is an example of that. Here is a little food for thought. People who are truly in your corner will tell you when you’re wrong even when they stand to personally gain from the decision you are considering.
So, to the question, “Is the devil in your camp?” I certainly hope not.
Blessings to you all, my friends.
