All traps had a catch that releases once the prey steps into it. There are no warning signs that a temptation is ahead. Satan’s temptations to sin are intentional and deceptively hidden. They always target our faith. That is why we need to keep behind our door shield of faith ~ quenching every fiery dart. 

Fiery darts are lies that seek to pierce our mind and penetrate into our heart. This is another reason why we must bring every thought captive. Especially thoughts against ourselves, others, or our circumstances.

We may be unaware that we are ensnared. A deceived persona does not know that they are deceived. That is why we need accountability through fellowship with other believers. One telltale sign is complaining. In Numbers 11:1 we read that complaining displeases the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God…” Gratitude is a form of worship.
