Net Gains

(Proverbs 1:17 KJV)  Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

Sometimes I wish that we had the common sense of the simple animals.  Notice the observation here.  If you are going to lay a trap you need to do it when the animal isn’t watching.  Even animals are not that dumb.  Being a “bird brain” isn’t as bad as the people being described here.

Some people cannot see that their destructive attitudes and behavior are going to lead to destruction.  Today in a discussion we were talking about the destructive nature of drugs such as cocaine.  We were wondering how anyone could get addicted when the evidence of disaster is all around.  How?  It happens constantly. 

So?  God has given us the ability to avoid the big traps of life.  We are smarter than the birds.  At least I think me and mine are.  I would like to think you and yours are also.  Read the Owners Manual and apply it as needed.
