Wonderful news hit the whole world when it was reported that the 33 miners trapped underground in Chile for 69 days were rescued. What a delight it was to watch the scene - the tears of joy and warm embrace of loved ones. One man testified " I have been with God and with the devil. I seized the hand of God, it was the best hand. I always knew God would get us out of there." What a testimony. It cheered my own heart. We still live in the age of miracles.
I think of many people trapped by drugs, alcohol, sexual addictions, pornography, shopping addictions, gambling addictions and other habits. You name it, the devil sets traps. Yes, all of us are vulnerable. We can in that unguarded moment fall into a trap. O to be vigilant! Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.
Psalm 40 comes to my mind. "I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." Psalm 40: 1-2
Think of it, Jesus mounted the rescue mission to save us from traps of sin. The only way of true escape is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
