the snare of the fowler

"Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:.." Psalm 27:12

Who is our enemy? What is his will?

Our enemy is the devil and his wills are that we fail to walk the honest and righteous road of life that God is required of us to walk on.

You might consider yourself as a keen Christ follower and the quick-witted devil's enticements are no match for your spiritual power. That might be so, but remember King David, King Solomon, Samson, and quite a few others biblical individuals, who God showered with stupendous amount of His grace, all failed, short of achieving the spiritual goals they were set to accomplish.
The Fowler knew exactly what snare to use, at what time and place and to who!
King David's snares were adultery and murder ( two of the top ten commandments).
King Solomon's snares included self-gratification and idolatry.

The English dictionary describes "Snare" as such:
Something that leads one into a place or situation from which escape is difficult
We all know who that "something" is!

Every single minuet of the day, the enemy tries to lure us to his bait using one of the many snares that he knows our flesh can't resist.

I say this prayer everyday and I hope you will find it encouraging to do so.
"God our father, we pray that you acknowledge the weakness of our flesh and we ask you not to deliver us over to the will of our enemy. We pray that you will always embrace us with your everlasting arms and protect us from the snares of the Fowler.
Cloth us with the impenetrable, the holy garment of your words and shield us with the helmet of your eternal salvation so that no amount of snares formed against us shall prosper.

In Jesus name, Amen."

Notice also the word "difficult" ( from which escape is difficult) . Yes it might be difficult to break free but Not impossible! If we found ourselves entangled with the snare of the Fowler, We should right away beg for forgiveness and ask for guidance and spiriual strength and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ and He will break the snare and set your free.

But don't wait lest the snare becomes bondage!
