I see these wiles as being all things we seek in our lives to gain some kind of instant fulfillment, instant satisfaction or instant pleasure apart from God. Even things that are not wrong if they function properly. i.e. eating or faithfulness.
There are also those things we do just because it is our desire, excusing it as: A little won't hurt, or: I want it now. Anything that seeks to fill that huge hollow place in our lives by a means that is against God's best plan set out for our lives. That crater was caused when we choose to go our own way, ans walk in independence from God. It is called sin and it stands between us and God and His way - righteousness, peace and joy. Sorta of like the manufacture of a car has guidelines to get the best use of that car. God gave us a manufactures handbook, the Bible that we can know God's heart.
The amazing thing is God so loved us he sent his own son to die, and take on himself our sin, to cleanse us from our sin. He became the doorway when he shed his blood and we have forgiveness of our sins when we enter in. He even comes to the door of our hearts and knocks and all we have to do is open that door. He does everything, He made the sacrifice, He seeks us. He knocks on our hearts door and when we invite him in He gives us the right to enter into the inner chamber directly into the presence of God. We go into his presence by the Blood of our LORD Jesus Christ. And there we have access to Him and His Wisdom.
LORD, Thank you for making all we need available. I desire to walk in your truth
