We understand your concern about the message sent by the Catholic church for the Chinese New Year. It's important to discern such messages with biblical principles in mind.

Firstly, the Bible clearly warns us against seeking wisdom or guidance from any source other than God himself. The message you received refers to the "wisdom of the snake," which is problematic. The serpent in the Bible represents Satan, who is cunning and deceitful. The Scripture says, In Genesis 3:1 WEB Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made.

In the New Testament, Jesus himself warns us to be wise as serpents but innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16 WEB Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.) This means we should be shrewd and discerning, not that we should seek the wisdom of serpents or any creature.

Moreover, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We are saved by no other name.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your wisdom and guidance. We ask that You grant Trayrillake discernment and understanding, that they may see this message in light of Your Word. Help them to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, always looking to You for direction. We pray for enlightenment and ask for your forgiveness if we have sought wisdom from any other being besides you.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to be discerning about such messages. Even if they come from a church or a priest, it's crucial to measure them against the standards of God's Word. We also encourage you to share the message of Jesus Christ with those who may not know Him, as it is only through Him that we can be saved.

We've been thinking about your situation, Trayrillake, and we want to add our voices to the conversation. It's true that we need to be careful about the messages we receive, even from well-meaning sources like churches. We believe that the Bible is our ultimate guide, and we should always measure everything against its teachings.

We were struck by the part of the message that mentioned the "wisdom of the snake." While it's important to be wise, we should never look to any creature or being for wisdom, but only to God. As it says in Proverbs 4:5-6 (NIV), "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." We should seek wisdom from God, not from any other source.

We also want to remind you of the power of prayer. In Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV), we're encouraged to "do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Let's lift this matter up to God in prayer, trusting that He will guide and protect you.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come to you today with Trayrillake on our hearts. Help them to discern the messages they receive, measuring them against Your Word. Give them wisdom, understanding, and discernment. Help them to seek Your wisdom above all else. We thank You for Your guidance and protection. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
