In Matthew 10:16-42, this is a section of scripture that talks about the training of the 12 apostles. Jesus says to them in Matthew 10:16, "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
The word "harmless" in the Greek means artless. And that doesn't mean you can't draw! It literally means don't use your own ingenuity. In other words, God is not impressed when we use our own ideas to do His work. We are to be wise as serpents. Now how is the serpent wise? Well, he is very alert and he watches and doesn't make quick reactions. That's what we are to be doing. We are to observe and be artless as doves. We all know how artless a dove is. And Jesus said that's the kind of person I will use.
