Poisoning People

"But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren" (Acts 14:2 NKJV).
I
can't think of many things worse than poisoning someone's mind against
another person. The apostles were having great success in Iconium. A
"great multitude" of both Jews and Greeks became believers. But then
someone slipped poison into the communion (fellowship).
How terrible
it is when those who should know better stoop to poison the mind of a
new convert by injecting lies or rumors or doubts. May we never poison
the mind of a believer against their brethren! "Poison proof" the
medicine cabinet of your heart today! Throw out every intention of
slipping poison into the communion!
Prayer: Loving
Father, help us to reject any temptation from Satan to poison the mind
of a fellow believer. Fill us with Your love so that we will see only
Jesus in their face.
