I like the idea (the reality, for that matter) of God watching out for His children, including me.

So when the “bad people” out there plot against me, they had better watch out!

“The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken” (Psalm 9:15).

Though they may succeeed in catching me in their pit or net, they also will get stuck.

What really strikes in this verse, though, is the realization that Jesus expects me to show love, pity, mercy, and compassion to the heathen stuck in their own pits and nets.

Oh my!
