Sinful games, and filthy delights and immediately he followed...
Like an ox going to the slaughter...
Like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver...
Like a bird darting into a snare...
Little knowing it will cost him his life.
Pro 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Pro 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
No sooner could Satan bid him to lie...but immediately he had it on his tongue.
No sooner could Satan offer a filthy object...but he was overcome with lust.
But after he is converted he serves another Master...
And takes quite another course...
He goes and comes at Christ's bidding.
Satan may sometimes catch his foot in a trap but he will no longer be a willing captive.
He watches against the snares and baits of Satan...
And studies to be acquainted with his devices and plots.
