As a young Christian woman in Indonesia, Shandra Woworuntu had big dreams for her future. At twenty-five, she had built a promising career as a financial analyst. But when an economic crisis struck her country, she suddenly lost her job. Determined to rebuild her life, she began searching for opportunities abroad.
One day she discovered what seemed like the perfect opportunity—a high-paying hospitality job in Chicago. Excited, she paid a recruitment agency nearly $3,000 and boarded a plane for the United States.
But instead of taking her to Chicago, the recruiters transported her to New York, confiscated her passport, and revealed the shocking truth—she had been sold into human trafficking.
Terrified and trapped, Shandra cried out to God for help. Days later, while praying in desperation, she sensed a strong prompting to attempt an escape through a bathroom window. Though it meant jumping from the second floor, she took the risk. Miraculously, she landed safely and found help. She later led the police to the traffickers, and they were arrested. Today, Shandra uses her story to warn others about deception and to help rescue victims of human trafficking around the world.
The world we live in today is filled with deception. Opportunities, relationships, and proposals can appear attractive on the surface yet hide destructive consequences beneath. Jesus warned that in the last days deception would increase so greatly that even the elect could be misled if they were not watchful.
Because of this reality, believers cannot afford to rely merely on appearances, emotions, or human reasoning. We need divine guidance. God’s Word provides the discernment we need to recognize what is true and reject what is false.
Psalm 119 declares that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. This means that the Word of God illuminates the road ahead of us and protects us from hidden dangers.
When we consistently meditate on Scripture and seek God in prayer, our spiritual senses become sharper. The Holy Spirit begins to alert us when something is not right, even when others may not see the danger.
Just as a lamp reveals obstacles on a dark path, God’s Word exposes deception before it destroys us.
In these end times, our safety lies in remaining anchored in God’s truth. As we follow the light of His Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, surely we will escape the snares of the fowler and soar to our destined realms of exploits and accomplishments.
PRAYER:
Lord, please grant me the wisdom to walk in the light of Your Word. Help me to be discerning so that I may avoid every trap of the enemy and walk safely into my glorious destiny, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
