Be careful of traps.

   In my devotions this morning I was reading in Prov 7, where Solomon warns about being caught up in the trap of adultery.  Adultery is just one trap satan uses to trap people.  John 10:10 gives the motive of operation in which satan's operate.  As a thief, he comes to rob, kill and destroy.  His methods of attack are temptation, accusation and deception.  So when you come accross a situation where the test you are facing involves this three things it is trap of satan.  Traps are traps no matter what form they come in.  They are designed to trip and trap the intended victim.  The wise person is always conscience that there are going to be traps in life and the secret is avoidance not escape.   A good plan of life is to look around and see what is happening and not walk blind and hope you can miss the traps.  There is a story of a sapper which is another name for a bomb disposal expert who was working in an area where old bombs where buried.  He was walking through the minefield carefully when he accidently touched an old mine.  It did not explode but he was trapped.  He needed a fellow sappeer to come along and rescue him.  God is our rescue when we are trapped in the minefield's of life.  Today let the Lord rescue and help you out and save you, sometimes even from yourself.  Also if possible look around and keep your life in such a manner that you will be able to stay clear of the minifield's of life.
