Digging Ditches

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. (Psalms 7:10-15)

Thought For Today:

The only difference between a ditch and a rut is depth.  The longer you stay in a rut, the sooner it will become a ditch.  The Psalmist said that the wicked made a pit, and digged it, and fell into the ditch which he made.  Solomon said, "Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him" (Proverbs 26:27).  

So my question today is, are you causing your own troubles?  Are you digging your own ditch?  Are you causing yourself to go deeper and deeper in your lowliness?  If you don't take action and get out of the rut you are in, pretty soon you find yourself in a deep ditch, unable to get out.
