Cat and Mouse Games
My friend Carter Conlon has ministered in New York City for more than two decades. Yet he spent many of his early years on a farm. He recalls a barnyard scene that illustrates the status of Satan. A family of cats lived in the barn.
The mama cat would often be spotted in the field with a mouse. She would taunt and tease it until the mouse was exhausted. She would then bring the rodent to the kittens to teach them how to catch and kill it.
Carter remembers how the mouse, upon seeing the kittens, would rise up on its hind feet and prepare to fight. The rodent would bare its tiny yellow teeth and flare its little claws. It would then attempt to hiss.
Its only hope was to convince the kittens it was something other than what it was: a defeated, wimpy, outnumbered mouse. It had already lost. The kittens didn’t even have to fight to win the victory. Jesus has already defeated the rat of heaven as well. Be alert to the devil, but don’t be intimidated by him. Learn to recognize his stench.
