"The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined."
Psalms 10:2
What struck me today about this verse is the idea of being taken in our own devices. If we set traps or try to take advantage of others, this seems like a very appropriate consequence... for us to get caught in our own snares. I think, because of Matthew 25:40 and 25:45, this likely also works in the opposite way. If we help the poor rather than persecute them, and we plan for good things to happen to others, then likely we will be caught up in those devices as well.
Today, let's think about how we treat other people, and what our plans are for them. If we're going to get taken in our own devices, then let's make sure those devices are intricate plans for the good of others, rather than the other way around. :)
