This tale is about God sending one of the greatest prophets to earth and the devil being scared of the message. The devil began to hatch a plan to hide the prophet's message. After thinking through many situations, the devil decided to hide the prophet's message in beauty. The prophet was a woman of great beauty who spoke with an eloquence that everyone adored. The prophet's beauty was legendary throughout the land and everyone was so entertained by her words. But they did not hear her message of warning and moved closer to their own destruction in celebration and dancing.
Here we are reminded of the power of words, not just in how they can entertain us, but in their message to us. Too many times we are entertained by communicators or musicians that we fail to hear the message. I know I have been guilty of this. On the flip side, communicators can fall in the trap of watering down their message to make it more entertaining. But with the guidance of the Holy Spirit we should be able to get through these issues and to the heart of the message.
