Harry Houdini was known as the greatest escape artist of all time. When he arrived at a city for a performance, he would go to the local jail and test its security. He would escape from every lock-up, some within seconds. During a tour of Scotland, Houdini agreed to be locked up in the strongest jail cell available, boasting that he would escape from it. The magician was searched, his hands placed in steel handcuffs, and he was chained to a bench in the jail cell. The jailer shut the cell door and walked away, confident that Houdini would never escape. Left alone, Houdini quickly shed himself of the handcuffs and the chain binding him to the bench. Then he went to work on the cell door. He tried every trick in the book to pick the lock on the jail house door. After an hour he was dripping with sweat, apparently defeated. Totally discouraged, and near exhaustion, Houdini accidentally leaned against the door, and it swung open easily, sending him tumbling into the corridor. The jailer had forgotten to lock the door. Hey, Satan is a great deceiver and defeats us by his lies. Jesus said in John 8:44, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” Don’t fall for Satan’s lies, trust in the everlasting God. The Lord will never fail you!
