Proverbs 22:5
Thorns
and snares are in the way of the froward:
he
that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
This
word froward means ‘twisted’ or ‘not upright’.
If we make decisions based on a sort of twisted motivation, we are
warned that there will be thorns and snares in our path. Thorns poke us and make travel difficult and
snares are traps that catch us and keep us from going on. When we are women who are deceptive or
motivated by some sort of hidden agendas, we will find our paths very annoying
and at times we will find ourselves stuck.
We must keep or guard our souls so that we can be far from snares and
thorns. Our inner man must be
guarded. What are we feeding that inner
man? What are we meditating on? As we
guard our souls we will find our way much smoother than when we are reckless
and confused about our steps. Let us
take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, filter what comes in and
guard what comes out. This will keep
these thorns and snares far from us.
