Be Aware of Your Snare!

Welcome to a new week! You probably wondering what's up with this week's topic. I know somebody is probably saying, "What you talking about, Willis?" I love that line and it probably went right over some of y'all's head. It's because your too young to understand. Any who, I'm here to tell you to be aware of your snare!

What is a snare? And no, I'm not referring to a drum. A snare is a trap for birds and other animals. It's said to be easy and simple to do but very effective. It catches its victims by the neck or body. There's no escape. I've seen many times on television the extreme measure taken to release a snare from the leg of a human. In other words, to be caught in a snare has dire consequences.

In Job 18:9 it says, "A trap grabs them by the heel. A snare holds them tight."

 A snare in the spiritual sense is "something by which one is entangled, involved in difficulties, or impeded. It something deceptively attractive" Let me ask you, what is your snare? What is it that you do that traps you every time? It could be in your words or your actions. It's as if it has a hold on you and you're in dire need of escaping. How do we get released from the snare? How do we protect ourselves  from falling into any snare? 

Take real action! The Scriptures tells us that "fear of God offers an escape from the snares of death." That's our solution. God. The word hasn't come up yet but our snare could be causing us to sin, if it's not a sin itself. Only God can free us from our sin.

In order to protect yourselves, be smart and do as the Scripture suggest. Seek the "instruction of the wise to avoid the snares of death". Don't be afraid to ask for help. If professional assistance is needed, by all means get it. Talk to your Pastor.  And seek God at the same time. So I urge you again, be aware of your snare. 

Reminder: 

Never give up! 

Pray about everything. 

Have faith. 

This too shall pass! 

Enjoy your week!
