In this Sunday School message, the teacher reflects on the spiritual dangers believers face, emphasizing that the enemy works tirelessly to destroy families, testimonies, and faith itself. Using vivid examples—from animal traps to biblical figures like David and Samson—he warns that the closer we live to the edge, the easier it is to fall into temptation. The lesson centers on Proverbs 1, highlighting Solomon’s God‑given wisdom and the truth that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Genuine reverence, obedience, humility, and a willingness to receive instruction are presented as essential for spiritual growth. The teacher challenges listeners to stay close to God, cultivate discernment, and extend the same long‑suffering and mercy to others that God extends to us.
