Samuel didn’t do it because he was humble. He did it to appear humble. Yes, he admitted to himself, it was an act. Kaitlin slipped down by her bed and the words came, broken words from a broken soul. It was not good English. It was good submission. Carlton ascended the stairs, pondering. How easy it would have been to shut out the inner voice and just do what he wanted to do like-well, like Martha had. But the difference, as he now saw it, was staggering. The stories in Clutched in the Talons powerfully illustrate the danger of becoming ensnared by lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Let the message of these stories grip your heart and stir you to greater surrender and commitment to God’s will.
