1 Corinthians 10: 22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons.
Paul is telling about eating food which was sacrificed to an idol. He wraps this up by saying that everything is legal for the Christians, but not everything is beneficial. We are not prohibiting from eating anything, but we should consider the effects of our actions on others who are witness to them.
This struck me because of an event locally. First I saw an announcement by a medium in a nearby town asking for customers for her readings. This morning I saw that a FB friend had paid for one. She was comforted by the contact she believes she had from beyond. Other friends advised her that she had been duped. One friend said she would never do that for fear of allowing demons into her home. I am thinking that there is a real danger for my friend.
Prayer: Protect Your people from the demons around us. My friend has suffered so much trauma, and I fear that she is being led into temptation. Be there, so that she feels Your comforting presence. Give her and the rest of us the strength to resist the lure of an easy fix. Strengthen our faith in the true path to You instead.
Amen
