He will keep us from getting caught!

Proverbs 3:26 says: “for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap.” There are many traps in life. The enemy of our souls is very creative  and he will attempt to ensnare us in many ways. Frankly, we are no match for him in our own power. But if we put our lives in the hands of the Lord, He promises that He will protect us. He is our security. The Lord sees what we cannot see. Our military has a really cool gadget that allows the soldiers to see at night. This gives them the upper hand when they are in battle during the night hours. Since their enemies cannot see at night with their natural eyes, our military has the upper hand, and of course, because of their enhanced ability to see what others cannot see, they will win. It’s the same way with our Lord. He sees what we cannot see, even in the dark periods of our lives. He promises us that if we trust Him, He will keep our foot from being caught in a trap. We don’t have to go into battle alone. He’s with us every day and in every situation. Be encouraged today. Greater is He that is in you!

He sets us on the rock!

We are all subject to the scourge of sin. It is embedded in our Adamic nature. However, by God’s love and grace, He made a way for us to be delivered from this sin nature.  Psalm 107:20 (EHV) says: “He sent his word and healed them. He rescued them from the pits that trapped them.” As we listen to the news, we can clearly see that there are multitudes of people that are in a pit of some kind. Whether it is addictions, poverty, sickness, disease or something similar, we all need to be delivered from the pit that the enemy has prepared for us. The Psalmist knew what it was to be delivered from a pit: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps” (Psalm 40:2). He also revealed to us that God sent His Word and healed us. Jesus is the living word of God! He has also sent us His written word. The enemy might say to you that there is no hope, but God’s word declares that in Christ, we have eternal hope. Hebrews 10:23 says: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. Today, God is still healing and rescuing those who are trapped in a pit! If you are currently in a pit, cry out to God. He will deliver you and set you upon a rock and establish your steps!
