TRAPPED NO LONGER- FREE TO BE ME
When I was a boy of about five, dad started a church in a small Northwest town filled with lumberjacks. We rented an old house on a hill overlooking the Valley with a large field behind it and a small barn tucked next to the house.
Grandpa Watkins from California came by and stayed with us for a while. One day he took me into the back by the barn; he said I want to show you how to trap birds.
So we collected an old wooden box, some string, and a short stick. Then we went to the kitchen and found some dried bread to make breadcrumbs. Grandpa then took me out by the barn again, where we set the box upside down, propped up by the stick with the string tied around the stick.
Then we put the bate out; the dried breadcrumbs.
Then Grandpa said, "George, you've got to be patient now, so we wait for the birds to begin to eat the crumbs. When they get under the box, we will pull the string, and they will be trapped."
I still remember sitting with Grandpa, hoping a bird would come by so I could trap it under my box. We eventually caught one and just as quickly let it go.
I think mother may have called dinner, so he went into the house.
The Scriptures tell us in second Timothy 2:26 that it's possible to be in a position to be trapped by the Devil, and it tells us that if we come to our senses, we can escape the traps the Devil may be laid out for us.
Psalms 91: 3 declares that God will save us from the trap of the fowler.
Psalms 124:7 also reminds us that the trap has been broken, and we have escaped.
Now here's the test question.
Who made it possible that we could escape, and how did he do it?
Of course, the glorious answer is that Jesus died for us, rose from the dead, and we rose with him, ascended to the father, and presented his blood to deliver us from the enemy's bondage.
It doesn't get any better than that.
