Psalm 91:3
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
Mr. Frederickson stormed into the dean's office with Carol in
tow. He shoved her down into the seat, and said, "She's the one! I caught
her this time. She's the one who keeps letting the animals go."
"I'm sorry,"
Carol began, "but I can't stand to see the animals treated the way they
are. They shouldn't be used for experiments. They have a right to live, and I
just couldn't watch them suffer."
The dean worked to
settle Mr. Frederickson down and to explain why Carol couldn't do what she'd
done, though deep down inside, he was on her side. It was nice to see a young
person care so much about something other than herself. It was good that the
animals had a champion.
We have a champion in
Jesus Christ. Held captive to sin, trapped with no way out, we could only wait
to see what would happen. What happened was the saving love of Christ, which
set us free from the trap, and continues to protect us every day.
Prayer: Thank You for
rescuing me from the snare of sin. On my own, I get so tangled in sin, but with
You to guide me; I can avoid the traps and remain free for a life of joy and
love. Amen.
