PHPsalms 141:9 (KJV) Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Just as hunters use snares to catch animals and armies set traps to misdirect or eliminate their enemies, our spiritual adversaries deploy the same tactics against us. As Christians, we must be prepared for the schemes of the enemy. And so we seek God’s wisdom, which gives us discernment to spot temptation, deceit, and other traps that catch us in the snare of sin.
Lord God, You promise to empower me to resist temptation. But sometimes, temptation is veiled and hard to see. Give me the wisdom that I need to see traps and detect lies. Strengthen me with Your truth so that I may not be easily led astray. In Jesus’ name, amen.
