Warning!
Don't get trapped!
Warnings are included with almost every device, tool, toy,
food, and package in our world today. We hardly ever read them.
Some are silly but we should never forget that real dangers do
exist. Many of these dangers have no warning on them. They
are designed to trick you into buying an item you don't need
and can't afford. Traps will get you signed up for something you
should not be part of, or to watch videos that poison your mind.
Nefarious schemes are being invented every minute to entice
you to set images before your eyes, allow sounds in your ears,
swallow a pill, or invite longings into your heart that can become
addictions which in the end will destroy the goodness of life.
Some "snares" can even lead to death.
But ... we are never to live our lives in fear. For every "snare
and trap" devised, there is a way out. Every wicked plan can be
foiled. All devious machinations, pitfalls, and ambushes have a
way of escape.
Hundreds of years ago, a brilliant man set out deliberately
to examine, explore, and experience many of these "snares and
traps." He wrote about what he discovered; his mistakes, bad
choices, the pits he fell into, and the tragedies that followed.
In his writings he warned about the dangers of these devious
devices and how to avoid them. If we are wise and listen to
him, we will not be deceived and captured by these "snares and
traps."
The book of warnings is called Proverbs. Many have read,
studied, and memorized parts or all of it. Escape! tells the story
of one who did and how he did it.
Henry Gutmann - 1946
