1 Kings 2:13

Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. So she said, "Do you come peaceably?" 

The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him. I thank You God that You surround me, hovering over me so I need not fear, even in the most desperate of times. You are my shield and buckler and cause me to be as wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove. Adonijah did not come to Bathsheba peaceably all though his words spoke it, that was not the intention of his heart. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Lord let me not be naive or gullible when others try to deceive or take advantage. Whether it be a family, friend or stranger grant me discernment to navigate safely the request of others. Solomon was so wise and saw the plot and those who conspired against him, so I pray Lord for Your church to be wise and alert as our adversary roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. May we by Your Holy Spirit resist and stand firm in faith because we know our family, Your body throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings and challenges. Father, bless and protect Your children today for the glory of Your Son Jesus in His name I pray, Amen. 

Psalm 34:7, Matthew 10:16, Jeremiah 17:9 and 1 Peter 5:8-9
