The Hawkins were driving the children home from the American Community School in west Beirut in the late 1970’s during the Lebanese civil war. As they drove east through the city to get to their home in the hills they heard shooting behind them. Every time they advanced block it seemed the shooting advances as well. Their daughter asked, “Do you feel as if a net is closing behind us?” Being one block ahead of the moving battle saved them.
We are all sinners in need of deliverance from the net Satan tries to throw around us. Only Jesus can keep the way to safety open. He did it by giving “himself for our sins.” He wants to deliver us from the nets of Satan in “this present evil age.”
Father, grant that I may be aware of Satan’s nets; but always keep me one block ahead, out of his reach, by Your grace and power.
