and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place. -Psalm 31:8
When an antelope is running away from a lion, he not only wants to be quicker than the lion, but also at least a paw length away. If the lion is within a paw length of the antelope he will swing that mighty paw and try to break the antelope's leg or in the least trip him up. If that happens then the lion will pounce on the antelope. The antelope would rather be in an open field where there is no cover for the lion to hide and be able to have a huge head start.
We, as Christians, don't want sin to creep up on us, but we want to be able to see sin coming clearly and get away sooner. He has set our feet in a wide place. Amen!
