What is the universal strategy for catching an animal? It could be as small as a mouse or as large as a bear. You need two things, bate and a trap. 

It’s the same idea when it comes to fishing… would someone throw a fishing line without bate on it? 

In the same way, evil can not catch you without bate and a trap. 

As it is written below, 

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Matthew 4:3

Satan used Jesus’ hunger as the bate and it came in the “right moment”. Because he knew that He was in need of food.

Thankfully the Lord Jesus was wise enough to refuse the bate and not fall into the trap. You and I must follow His lead daily and also refuse and resist the temptations and traps that evil throws at us. Because the moment you give into it and take the bate… in that same moment, you will be caught in the trap. And the end will be destruction. 

Even when the bad decision seems like a good idea, flee from it. It will save you a lot of pain in the long run. 

May the God of the Bible bless you.
