TRAP
Today's reading: Psalm 120-127

"We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!" Psalm 124:7 NLT

Trap-something by which one is caught unawares.

Ever had to set a mousetrap?

It is a tense situation requiring the utmost of attention. It takes a steady hand. Your most up-to-date pair of reading glasses. It takes attention to detail.

Or...

SNAP!!

Once you've been 'bitten' by a trap like that, you don't soon want to return to play with it, do you?

So, I'll ask you a few things I've asked myself:

Ever walked back into a sin-filled situation that God had removed you from?

Slipped back into a habit of sin?

Started hanging around 'old neighborhoods'?

Begun to respond to temptations from way back?

Got comfortable playing around sprung traps?

Here is a recommendation from a friend: Don't play around old traps!

You've been freed from them.

You've been forgiven, if you are a child of God, of your mistakes regarding them.

You've been given a calling that is higher than them.

So why ever go back?

Why risk it?
