We are called to be wise as a serpent so that we don't fall for the wiles of the Serpent; that slippery snake called Satan. You see, wisdom from the Word of God not only gives us discernment to know the difference between good and evil, but it also grants us the strength "to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:10). "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16).
