Oh, BE CAREFUL LITTLE FEET
Today's reading:  Job 17-18

"A snare lies hidden in the ground.  A rope is coiled on their path."  Job 18:10 NLT

Job's friends will never be known for their encouragement or cheer.  Their advice to a sorrowful friend probably won't make it to the fronts and insides of any Hallmark cards.

But there was partial truth in what they said.

Like the fact that Bildad knew there are traps set up for us we walk the road of life.

But the traps are not only for the ungodly.  We Christians have a number of these snares with our names on them on any given day--in regards to any of the ten thousand choices we're called to make.

God doesn't set them.

We don't set them.

The blame rests solely on our enemy, satan.

He would love to distract our eyes off of God long enough to catch us in one of his traps.  He so hopes to divert our attention away from the path we're supposed to be on long enough for him to get us lost in the temptations and lures of sin.

Satan is just like that.  He's a liar and a thief.  He has nothing, by reason of his own choices and falling, so he desperately wants to rob us of the richness we have in Christ.

Will you let him?  Will you allow his tactics to work?  Will you fall for his tricks?

The snares are out there, just so you know.
