We humans are much more sophisticated in comparison to animals who have collars and leashes. While animals are lead around by their owners (well…except for cats), we humans should not allow ourselves to be directed by the whims of the world, instead by the Holy Spirit.
The Bible warns us not to become so easily coaxed by mankind, instead, follow God’s guidance. As it says in Psalm 32:9, ”Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you.” This is where we can use our spiritual maturity and listen to God. To attain wisdom we need to be reading the Bible daily so we are not lead into the devil’s snares.
Paul warns us about these tricks in Acts 13:10 speaking about Elymas the magician, “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is not right! You are full of all kinds of trickery.” We need to always be ready so we aren’t hoodwinked by satan, instead, open our hearts, ears, and mind to Christ. He will debunk the devil and not allow us to fall into his deception.
