There are many that will want to use you as a puppet but you are always strategically placed and you remember that it is ALWAYS about the kingdom.  Don’t be swayed, sucked up or defend yourself.  The Lord is your keeper, the shade on your right hand.  He will not suffer your foot to be moved.  He never slumbers and He always sees.  You are all sons or light and sons of the day.  We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore, let us not sleep as others do, but let us watch and be sober.  I Thes. 5:4-6.
