Pitfalls

Your enemy is always planning pitfalls for your destruction.

The devil isn't throwing a party on your behalf to celebrate your Christianity! You better believe he is busy having meetings with his demons, planning your demise. The Bible says he knows his time is short on the earth. He has nothing to look forward to but Hell itself, while you and I look forward to eternity with God. The devil's devises are neatly packaged and carefully disguised as normal, everyday problems; issues; situations. They really are pitfalls. Now let's understand, there are natural things that do go wrong in this sin ridden world, but please know that our very deceitful enemy is also at work, camouflaging his evil snares to blend in with everyday things, so as to go virtually unnoticed.

Here's the good news - God's promise to us is that if we live our lives in His presence, He protects us from our enemy, according to Psalm 91. Once we are hidden under His protection, the enemy cannot find us!

As you enjoy this great Independence holiday weekend, don't forget to put God first. Know that He is your protector. It seems like every holiday has its share of incident or fatality, but let God's presence cover you in your homes and wherever you go to ensure that you and your family are safe.

"I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.' Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler..." - Psalm 91:2-3

Be Blessed and enjoy your weekend!
