Psalms 124:7
We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Fri, June 3, SNARE (Ps. 124:7). Snare is a sophisticated trap. It is designed and prepared perfectly to catch the prey. If it is trapped, the prey couldn’t get out free. It would die in the trap. But, God can make possible what is impossible.
1. God allows the snare.
God knows and allows the snare maker to make, to build and to set the snare up. He could find the perfect place. He could go to the perfect place. He could set it in the perfect place, use perfect bait, cover it with perfect camouflage, etc. It looks beautiful and interesting.

2. God allows us to fall in the snare.
The snare could be succesful to trap, to catch us. The snare has really working well. It has caught us in and caged us. It has made us realize how limited and weak we are. We can’t free ourselves from it. We realize how stupid we are could be trap in it.

3. God destroys the snare.
But, it is so very easy for God to destroy the snare. The prey couldn’t go free or destroy it by its own strength. But God can. God waits until the prey realize its mistake. So, there is good purpose behind the snare. ASH.
