Creepers

2 Timothy 3:6a  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins....

Yesterday I came home to a half eaten Lindor Chocolate that was sitting on the floor next to my husbands recliner.  I called for my husband and pointed to what was left of this chocolate mess and asked, "What is that?"  He picked it up and said, 'It's a half eaten chocolate ball."  And even though in the back of my mind  I already knew the answer to my next question, I asked it anyway.  In a horrified voice I asked my husband, 'What does this mean?"  He kindly replied, "We have a mouse."

How dare that mouse come into my home uninvited only to leave a trail of unwanted evidence behind him and half eaten chocolates!

It reminded me of 2 Timothy 2:6.  Creepers.  Those who will enter homes to entice foolish women to follow after their wicked ways.  Did this foolish woman invite the creeper in, or in her idleness neglect to see this critter invade her home?  How can we prevent being deceived from such creepers?

Trust God-

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.  2 Thessalonians 3:3

Know God's Word-

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.  Psalm 119:24

Ask God for Wisdom-

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  James 1:5

Pray-

Pray without ceasing- 1 Thessalonians 5:18

A random mouse might creep into my house from time to time, but with God's help, creepers of men will be left outside.  

    But that's just me!

Oh, by the way...

the mouse was apprehended, but the candy wrapper is yet to be found!
