I guess that little grey kitten, now a half-grown cat, now stays at our front door waiting to be petted and for food but there is one problem. He likes to catch and kill little birds. Normally that would not be a problem, but I like to put out bird seed in front of the house and watch the different birds eating them. I have watched that cat so many times as he quietly sneaks upon unsuspecting birds and catches them. Sometimes he will lie down nearby and act like he is not paying attention to them and then it's too late for little birdie. That cat reminds me of something in the Bible. It says we have an enemy or adversary and he wants to destroy us, (John 8:44 &17:15). He prowls around trying to find ways to trap us, (1 Peter 5:8). He may start out by getting us hooked on drugs, alcohol or sex and many times he uses false religions or false gods to ensnare us, (1 Timothy 3:72 :Timothy 2:24-26). It could be pleasures, wealth or fame, anything to keep us from drawing near to God and knowing Him. He just wants to keep us ensnared till our life on earth runs out and then it is too late, (John 10:10). Then we are headed for eternal separation from God, (John 3:16-20). That is just what Satan wants!
