2 Timothy 2:26 (ESV)
And they may come to their senses and escape from the
snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
When you think that sin doesn't get a hold of you think
about the eagle in this story.
The story is told of an eagle perched on a block of ice
just above Niagara Falls. The swift current carried the ice and its majestic
passenger closer to the edge of the great precipice. The cries of other birds
and animals warning the eagle of danger that lay ahead were to no avail.
"I have great and powerful wings," he boasted. "I can fly from
my perch at any time. I can handle it." Suddenly the edge of the falls was
only a few feet away. The torrent of water rushed the block of ice over the
great falls. The eagle spread his powerful wings to mount up over the impending
doom only to discover too late that his claws had become frozen to the cake of
ice.
None of us is immune to the consequences of sin.
Dear Lord, we pray that we would not get trapped in our
sins. We pray that we would let You guard our hearts from the temptations
around us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
