To an evil person, sin is bait in a trap, but a righteous person runs away from it and is glad. [Proverbs 29:6 (GW)]
When trying to trap an animal, a good hunter uses bait specifically designed for each animal. For the mouse, it is peanut butter or cheese; for a groundhog, cantaloupe and corn; for a coyote, tainted game meat. For a bear, lard, donuts and frosting are recommended! Satan is a wily hunter, too, and he knows just what tempts each one of us. What tempts one of us quite often has no appeal to another. What sort of bait does he use on you? Think about it. It’s wise to know exactly what tempts us so we can avoid stepping into the trap of sin!
Don’t let us be tempted, but save us from the Evil One. [Matthew 6:13 (ERV)]
