POISON — BEWARE!!

Throughout the pages of the Bible, the concept of poison is used not just as a literal danger but as a powerful metaphor for anything that seeps unnoticed into our hearts and minds, quietly eroding our faith, joy, and moral clarity. The ancients knew well that the most lethal threats were often invisible to the eye, and so poison became a symbol for spiritual forces—evil influences, deceitful teachings, and corrosive attitudes—that can destroy lives from within. In the Scriptures, references to poison abound, each carrying lessons about vigilance, wisdom, and the need for discernment.
