“The wicked have laid a snare for me,
but I do not stray from your precepts.”
– Psalm 119:110
Is this true for you? Are you willing to make this commitment? That even when evil people set traps for you, oppose you, undermine you, or attack you, you will continue to obey the commands of Scripture? That you will refuse to lower yourself to their level? That you won’t fight back in the way of the world or the devil? That you won’t compromise your faith and Christian witness to avoid traps, gossip, opposition, persecution, or attacks?
Jesus knew exactly what was waiting for Him when He entered into this world, taught truth to this world, and gave His life for this world. He was faithful to the end. Now He invites His people to follow Him on the same path. To imitate Him in the power of His Spirit. If you’re a follower of Jesus, make the commitment to obey Jesus and His Word no matter what people may say or do against you.
Never compromise your faith or your witness to Christ to avoid the traps or attacks of the ungodly. Faithful obedience through the devil’s snares brings great glory to God and eternal reward to you. Don’t compromise yourself or God’s Word. #FollowJesus
