Traps!

“Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely.” (Psalm 141:10 ESV)

Trap: A stratagem for catching or tricking an unwary person. A confining or undesirable circumstance from which escape or relief is difficult.

“You take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.” (Psalm 31:4 ESV)

Watch yourself!

“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.” (Luke 21:34 ESV)

Do not believe every spirit!

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1 ESV)

They set a net for your steps

“They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves.” (Psalm 57:6 ESV)

Jesus delivers you from present evil

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” (Gal. 1:3-5 ESV)
