I am told that a snake can catch the eye of a bird and charm that bird with its enchantments, and the stare of its eyes, until such a way, it that bird will give the snake its attention for just a few minutes, that bird will flutter and completely become paralyzed. And the snake will take the bird. I know of another serpent, the devil, that if he could ever catch the eye with his enchantments, with your modern rock-and-roll, and all your fandangles of the world, if he can ever catch you, young lady or young man, just long enough to get his charm in you, youll flutter, but you cant get loose. He will hold you till he swallows you up in sin. The only way, I am told, that that little bird ever has a chance, is to get his eyes off of the serpent, and he cannot look at anything else, because he stands staring. But if he will take his eyes from the serpent, and look upward, and flutter his wings, he will fly plumb out of the reach of the snake. And if you have ever got the charm of the world, and the things of the world, and unbelief, charming around your heart, that tells you, Oh, live modern! shake your head tonight and look up to the unseen One, the Lord Jesus, and flutter your wings of prayer, until you fly plumb out of his reach and out of his clutches... shake your head from him immediately, and look up to the Unseen.
