What does Psalm 25:15 mean?
David looks to the Lord constantly for safety. He believes his enemy has set a trap for him, but he is certain the Lord will help him escape. Though we don't face the exact same earthly threats as David, believers in every period of history face the same dangerous enemy: the Devil. He prowls around like a ferocious lion, looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). The evil world system is another enemy that tries to snare believers. The apostle John warned believers not to love the world or what is in the world. The evil world system uses the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life as nets that entangle believers (1 John 2:15–17).Prayer is an effective resource which believers can employ to overcome the enemy. After describing the pieces of armor believers need to wear as they battle the Devil and his cohorts, the apostle Paul exhorts us to be "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication" (Ephesians 6:18).
