Every morning, inbox and suspected junk, both folders are full
From the swarming spams that inundate my every refresh.
You’ve won, pay this, click here, and we’ll fix your problems.
They are nothing but flies that need a good swatter.
Forty, even fifty, or more…
They load up the bad next to the good.
A few minutes of deleting eases the mind,
But the next refresh brings even more.
All day and night, those nasty bugs try to get me to click.
At times they look legit, but my Bible tells me that
Satan has been transformed into the “angel of light.”
False light! Damaging and destructive. Flee Babylon! (Inside memory)
If you are not careful and you do not follow a good example,
You can easily be led astray, but doubt, temptation,
Or even by the allure of something too good to be true.
You need a voice telling you – to stay with the flock!
Like sin, they are the temptress’s siren song.
Win. We owe you! Surveys make money. Last Chance!
Click before the opportunity is gone forever!
At least until I slip a new campaign into your willing mind.
Listen. Mixed in with the swarming horde are the legit things
You must weed through and find the good.
They stand alone, and it’s extremely possible they could be tossed.
Just be careful with what you open, click, or save.
Those swarming spams are there every day!
Perhaps it’s good practice, though frustrating.
Seeing how bad the enemy thinks they can fool me.
But I’ve been taught well, and hope to teach equally well.
My last word on this. If you receive something you think is safe,
Call the company direct, do not click on that potential spam bait.

John 10:1-18 NKJV
“Most assuredly, I say to you,
he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door,
but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice;
and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
And when he brings out his own sheep,
he goes before them;
and the sheep follow him,
for they know his voice.
Yet they will by no means follow a stranger,
but will flee from him,
for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
Jesus used this illustration,
but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
Then Jesus said to them again,
“Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers,
but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door.
If anyone enters by Me,
he will be saved,
and will go in and out and find pasture.
The thief does not come except
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly.
“I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd,
one who does not own the sheep,
sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees;
and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
The hireling flees because he is a hireling
and does not care about the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
and I know My sheep,
and am known by My own.
As the Father knows Me,
even so I know the Father;
and I lay down My life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold;
them also I must bring,
and they will hear My voice;
and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
“Therefore My Father loves Me,
because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
No one takes it from Me,
but I lay it down of Myself.
I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again.
This command I have received from My Father.”
