Being Under Satan's Yoke!
Satan is the master of deception and will set a snare wherever possible. Sometime when he can't discourage us in our spiritual walk he will attempt to keep us so busy with daunting tasks that we become tired, distracted, overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, or short on time. This way he gains access and comes in to wreak havoc, ultimately discourages us and this snare can often times cause us to want to quit!
