Set a watch for those who will take advantage of your innocence. Make sure that what people around you say or do is genuine and actual before you interact with them. These days are rife with people who are disingenuous. Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
