Surviving Pitfalls on the Path

In the path where I walk men have hidden a snare for me.

Psalm 142:3b

Sometimes the Christian life feels like the script for a truly exciting movie, where our hero is on a quest to find hidden treasure, only to be stymied time and time again by dangerous traps, hidden by an enemy who is determined to prevent the success of that mission.

The truth is, as believers in Christ we are all on a journey to our heavenly home, and our reward is great. But there are pitfalls on this path; deadly snares carefully laid and hidden by the crafty enemy of our souls, designed to prevent us from finding the kingdom of Heaven, that proverbial treasure hidden in a field (Matthew 13:44).
