Escape!

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 doexist. Many of these dangers have no warning on them. Theyare designed to trick you into buying an item you don't needand can't afford. Traps will get you signed up for something youshould not be part of, or to watch videos that poison your mind.Nefarious schemes are being invented every minute to enticeyou to set images before your eyes, allow sounds in your ears,swallow a pill, or invite longings into your heart that can becomeaddictions which in the end will destroy the goodness of life.Some "e;snares"e; can even lead to death.But ... we are never to live our lives in fear. For every "e;snareand trap"e; devised, there is a way out. Every wicked plan can befoiled. All devious machinations, pitfalls, and ambushes have away of escape.Hundreds of years ago, a brilliant man set out deliberatelyto examine, explore, and experience many of these "e;snares andtraps."e; He wrote about what he discovered; his mistakes, badchoices, the pits he fell into, and the tragedies that followed.In his writings he warned about the dangers of these deviousdevices and how to avoid them. If we are wise and listen tohim, we will not be deceived and captured by these "e;snares andtraps."e;The book of warnings is called Proverbs. Many have read,studied, and memorized parts or all of it. Escape! tells the storyof one who did and how he did it.Henry Gutmann - 1946
