Pslams 57:6- They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; into the midst they are fallen themselves.
When i think of this verse i think of a young christian who is trying to walk in the light in their christian life and live a life glorifying God but the unsaved {Wicked people} set these traps in the world to try and distract them from doing what they know is right so that they can fit in and have friends! The devil plays a part in this to he is daily trying to make us christians not want to do what God wants us to do but to do what satan wants us to do. Satan puts these traps in our life to see if we will get distracted from God or if we will stand strong and keep serving God like we should! This could even be true about a christian friend that is maybe there walk with the Lord is going downhill and they have fallen into these traps and are having a hard time getting out of them cause they have been lured in and once you start doing one sin that is addicting its really hard to stop. When we think about it us christians can be doing this daily to our friends and not even realizing it. We can be tempting them to do something that they dont want to do cause they know that isnt right yet we still try and try to get them to fall into the trap. Once we get them to do it once they will come right back to you and ask you can we do that again. We get so addicted to the sin that we sometimes do that it becomes hard to stop. We need to be helping those around us set goals for their life, how to stay away from their sin not help them fall into the traps. We need to be a living walking testimony to those around us that when they see us they want to be just like us and get away from the traps of this world! The world sets us in traps all the time we just dont realize it, until we actually do the sin! Help those around you set goal to defeat the sin and traps, dont help them to fall into them! God is a merciful God and will help you from being tempted just run to him!!!
