“Whoso
walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall
fall at once.” (Proverbs 28:18; 16:25 KJV)
A survival
instructor for military shared to me their tactics on how to catch a monkey in
the jungle. He said that the easiest way to catch a monkey is to set up a trap.
And the trap would be a coconut. You make a small cut on the top of the coconut,
and scrape the white stuff or coconut meat. Then you put some food or nuts inside.
He said that once the monkey put his hand inside the coconut, and got hold of
the food in it, the monkey will never get loose of it, and will go away holding
onto the food with his hand closed. That will prevent the monkey from running or
climbing the tree. It’s very simple and interesting, but the lesson to learn in
our analogy could be a life saving, and beneficial even for eternity. It means
be aware of the trap of the devil and don’t step into its way to destruction.
The Bible says; “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death.” As Christians, we are the light of the
world and the Bible says that our “…path is as the shining light.”
In (Proverbs 4:17 KJV),
It is obvious that wickedness is their life. They eat and drink in wickedness and
in darkness. In (Proverbs 4:19 KJV) “The way of the wicked is as darkness: they
know not at what they stumble.” Praise God (Proverbs 4:18 KJV) “But the path of
the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day.”
