POOR little mouse has been caught in a trap and now one of the little girls has gone after the cat and brought her to catch and kill the little mouse as soon as they open the door of the trap and let it out.
A trap is a good thing for such a little destructive creature as a mouse, and God who is righteous, allows snares to be brought upon the wicked. They think they can go on without Him and do just as they please and forget that all they have they have received from Him, so God lets them fall into a trap that they might learn what weak and foolish things they are. The one therefore who puts His trust in the Lord for salvation, and then goes to Him about every, step in his path, will be preserved from getting into traps or snares. The Scripture says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, and my fortress: My God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.” Ps. 111:1-3.
May you not only put your trust in the Lord for your salvation, but for all your ways, and He will preserve you from falling into many a trap or snare that the wicked one would have for your feet.
“IN GOD HAVE I PUT MY TRUST: I WILL NOT BE AFRAID WHAT MAN CAN DO UNTO ME.” PS: 56:11
