4 Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path. Psalm 140:4-5
Have you ever flipped a coin and had it land on its edge? They say the chances are that every 1 in 6000 times a nickel would land on its edge. That's a large chance compared to the 50/50 chance that you can get flipping a coin. Some people flip a coin because there are only two possibilities, but what if it lands on its side? The enemy wants us to flip a coin when we make decisions on our path with the Lord, because he has a 50/50 chance of winning. I feel like God has given us an opportunity to choose our path, because he wants to see us grow. He doesn't want us to flip a coin hoping that His side comes up, or a true reward comes if we flip it on its edge. He wants us to choose the righteous path and not take a chance that could result from deviating from that path. Why not take the sure thing for our future by accepting the Lord and the path He has chosen for us, instead of flipping a coin thinking there is something better out there.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
