daily word - set up?

Have you ever been ‘set up’? Circumstances can lead you in a direction you would not deliberately choose. In some cases people who are well-rehearsed in advance can lead you in the direction they want you to go with a persuasive appeal. This can take you to a place that is beneficial for you, but more often the other party has their interests in mind rather than yours. Be awake and alert. Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning, and be as wise as serpents. Beware of those who would divert you from the strait and narrow way that I have set before you to lead you to life.
