January 24th — Morning Reading
"Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler." — Psalm 91:3
A fowler is a professional bird catcher.
God delivers His people from the snare of the fowler in two senses. From, and out of the net of the fowler. First, He delivers them from the snare-does not let them enter it; and secondly, if they should be caught in it, He delivers them out of it. Being delivered from being caught is the most precious to some; and being delivered out of it is the best to others.
"He shall deliver you from the snare." How? Trouble is often the way God delivers us. 
God knows that our backsliding will soon end in our destruction, and He in mercy sends the rod. We say, "Lord, why is this?" not knowing that our trouble has been the way of delivering us from a far greater evil. 
So many have been saved from ruin by the sorrows and arrows; these have frightened the birds from the net. 
At other times, God keeps His people from the snare of the fowler by giving them great spiritual strength, so that when they are tempted to do evil they say, "How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" 
But what a blessed thing it is that if the believer shall, in an evil hour, come into the net, and God will still bring him out of it! 
O backslider, be cast down, but do not despair. Wanderer though you have been, hear what your Redeemer says-"Return, O backsliding children; I will have mercy upon you." 
But you say you cannot return, for you are a captive. Then listen to the promise-"Surely He shall deliver you out of the snare of the fowler." 
You shall be brought out of all evil into which you have fallen into, and though you shall never cease to repent of your ways, He that loves you will not cast you away. 
He will receive you, and give you joy and gladness, So the bones which have been broken in the snare may rejoice. No bird of paradise shall die in the fowler's net.
