"What a nice soft fuzzy
friendly bug!" Said Little Danny as he reached out to pet the bumblebee, that
was busy on a flower. The next thing his
mother knew was that Little Danny was holding his finger, running and screaming
for mommy.
"What happened?" his
mother asked as she looked at the swelling finger.
Little Danny tried to talk
between sobs, "I saw, huh-huh-huh, this fuzzy bug, huh-huh-huh, and I
tried to pet it, huh-huh-huh, and it bit me, huh-huh-huh. The fuzzy
caterpillars, huh-huh-huh,, like it when I, huh-huh-huh, pet on
them."
"I guess you won't do that
again, will you?"
"I just wanted to pet him. He's
a mean bug!"
Dan never pet another
bumblebee. In fact, he left the room if
a bee came into it while at work. Once
the bee was gone he would tell me this story again - every time. It was quite a
traumatic experience for a little toddler. He would relate how that bug was
deceitful. He had gotten stung by
something that looked warm and cuddly.
The devil works in a similar
manner. He is deceitful. We can learn from others that he will hurt
us, we can read it in the Bible or we can learn by messing with him. Once stung by the devil, we will remember how
he operates.
For such are false
apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose
end shall be according to their works. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
