January 30 Devotion

Operation Furbearer is our trapping event. It really is an amazing weekend. Our guide/guides do an incredible job. The weekend starts by explaining the different types of traps that we use. How to use them. Why you would use them. And also what else is out there. They talk about the different types of bait that will go with each trap. It is very educational.

Each day consists of checking traps that were already set. Collecting anything that was in each trap. And then resetting traps that were sprung. We also learn how to flesh anything that we bring back in. As always, it is a weekend full of faith, fellowship, and food. All while taking in the creation. A true formula for success. But, the most important part is the lesson we learn. The message is on Satan‘s traps. What he does to trap us. And how we get out of those traps. Spot on for the weekend.

Satan is the great liar. He is a snake. Lurking around waiting for that moment. Baiting us. Waiting for that moment when he can trap us. He is good at what he does. And often times, we find ourselves in his traps. Nothing we can do can get us out of it. We are unable to release ourselves. But, here is something that I want you to realize…as much as Satan is at work, God is also. Actually, he’s doing more work. And as good as Satan is at what he does, God is even better at what he does. That is a fact. And another fact is this: God makes all of his resources for us accessible. All that he has…is there for us. He wants us to see his will for our lives. And whenever we find ourselves trapped by the great deceiver, he will be there to get us out. If we listen, we will hear what it is he’s telling us. We will be empowered to do his will. Nothing that Satan has at his disposal has any power over what God has. Truth is, we can avoid all of those traps if we have God in our lives. The traps will still be there. The temptations will still be there. But we will have the weapon to resist. So let’s pay attention to God. Let’s pray to God. And let’s obey what God tells us to do.
