It is God who helps us avoid snares of deception; the tentacles of a labyrinth that spread far and wide, some are like old cobwebs laced by foreign, domestic, family, friends, and associates.
A web of deception is not always a thing or device, some snares we create in self-exaggerated spaces of our minds. We become a judge spreading gossip, a kind of behavior that does not work over the Internet amongst imaginary friends, where enemies are real.
Pushing an agenda beyond your sphere of influence is not wise at beast, solely based on a title, president of neighborhood watch. We often think too much of our self and become ensnared by our own doing, even in a small arena.
Interwoven into life are entanglements of sin, deception is a web of confusion devised centuries ago for entrapping souls.
God gives us HIS gift to discern entanglements meant to trap for a lifetime. Inspire the young to study God’s Word, our only weapon against the web of deception that has become more elaborate in its design and scope. HIS Word will nudge you away from traps set by an enemy fowler to entangle your soul.
The nature of entanglement, Biblically speaking, refers to being caught up or twisted in sin that is detrimental, it ensnares and traps believers. Relationship with God sets us free from such entanglements when we commit ourselves to God.
Like a bird broken free from the spider web of an evil fowler, (Psalm 124:7). Each must throw off entangling sins, that wraps themselves tightly around our feet and trip us up (Hebrews 12:1).
