Mouse in the House

This was originally emaild 8-16-10 Placed in this BLOG only becuase it was a favorite of those receiving the Revolutionary Prayer emails!


Yesterday, instead of working on the long list of things that I need to get done, I spent 6 hours cleaning up after a mouse that decided to make it's home in my house.

Did you know a mouse only needs a 1/4 inch hole to get in?  A mouse can have a litter in 3 weeks - up to 20 more little buggers who one month later will be running around.  And every month they can repeat this.  The mess mice make is nasty.   This one ruined a lot of dry goods by eating through the plastic.  Mice in the walls will eat through electrical lines causing shorts, and through plastic pipes, causing leaks.  Mice carry disease that can make you sick without you even coming in contact with the mouse.

I got up this morning and none of my traps were productive, and I found more of those little terds.
So then I sat down to read my devotions.  I went to Romans 6 on pastor's recommendation during the sermon yesterday. 

Sin is like this mouse.  It only needs a small weakness to creep into your life, can infest your life quite quickly, and one day leave you wondering how come your life is a mess.   And just like this mouse, you have no idea when it started, you just started noticing the signs one day.

So before you delete, save, or forward this email, stop and pray to the "Exterminator of Sin" in your life and allow God to both expose the sin in your life and to get you on the road to removing it permanently!  The price was paid on the cross 2000 years ago, so take advantage of what God wants to do in your life!
