“All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies” (Psalm 25:10).

One of the great promises of the Bible is that God will lead those who follow His will and honor His word. “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6).

“Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers” (Proverbs 17:6).

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone” (Matthew 23:23).

“Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah” (Psalm 60:4).

“Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil” (I Timothy 3:7).

A snare is a trap normally used to catch an unwary wild animal, but each of the five times the word (Greek, pagis) is used in the New Testament, it refers to devices used by the great deceiver, Satan, to trap unwary human beings.
