Hidden traps
Put there by the enemy
To steal, kill, and destroy
Hidden traps of pride, fear, offense
That steal joy, that rob
from the goodness He wants to give me, that keep me from radiating His nature to my world…
Hidden traps of “poor me,” “I can’t,” or “tomorrow “…
Hidden traps of worry, doubt, disappointment…
Hidden traps of one lie, and another lie, and another lie, to fit the narrative of what I want to believe, of what everyone else is doing, or fits the narrative that is everywhere…
These hidden traps
All set with great anticipation and intent to steal my joy, my purpose, my destiny…
Yes, the traps come in all shapes and sizes…
But God…
He sends His radiant light of Jesus, His Spirit, His Presence, His Word, to expose the trap.
He turns those hidden traps into obvious traps.
He gives new thoughts
And provides a way of escape…
His Light leads me around those hidden traps and gives me an INSTEAD.
Instead of a trap, His light allows me to encounter streams of blessings on the path.
No hidden traps on my path now…
Only obvious sinkholes
Which I gladly avoid!
Thank you Father for delivering your children from the hidden traps on our path of life.
