Snared Through Over-Confidence
2 Timothy 2:26
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.


Naturalists tell us that amongst birds and butterflies, the swiftest, strongest fliers approach man much nearer than those with weaker wings, feeling confident that they can dart away from any threatened danger, and this misplaced confidence brings them into the net of the collector.

(W. L. Watkinson.)
