Live Bait

By Donald Mitchell

Once there was a man standing on a pier gazing into the water at a school of fish. He thought to himself, "How can I catch these fish? If I jump in the water directly after them they will only scatter and swim away". So he came up with an idea, "I will lure the fish to me and hook them by moving and pulling on fishing line and by means of shiny objects and things that look like live bait to disguise the hook". This had some degree of success, then he thought again. "I will use live bait something each fish requires and has a hard time resisting."As soon as the live bait was introduced into the environment of the fish, each fish was pulled from his soundings into the clutches of the man on the pier who devoured each one in his own time.

Let us not be ensnared by the traps of Satan........

2Co 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2Co 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
