Ever see a mouse trap like this?
It says if I ever get my teeth in you, you’re not going anywhere. I don’t know what you had in mind that you were about to do, but it ain’t happening.
Now who in their right mind would walk into that thing, you might ask. The answer lies in the question, what’s inside of it. Those rat food scientist, have it down. They have degrees, they have thousands of hours of experimentation. They watch you. They study you. They observe you. They know what gets your senses. They have been studying you for quite a while.
These scientist want to know what attracts you. What attracts you so much it would make you leave even those most treasured valuables that you cherish.
Another point to make is your best interest is not top of mind with them. If what they want, happens to be good for you, good. But your health and wellness is nowhere on their agenda.
What is on their agenda is making them money. That is the trap manufacturer’s objective. They have a strategy and that is to survive, then to thrive. The only way they survive, is if they can get you trapped.
So what do they put in that thing? It is a concoction that is the most wonderful, pleasing, attention getting aroma and taste that is like a special ordered 5 star rat meal.
You and I look at this thing and thing what dumb creature would stick their head into that? I don’t care what it smells like, looks like, or tastes like. You would have to be an IDIOT to think twice about getting around that.
This little rat walking along and said “wow, I was just praying for my daily bread and the Lord led me straight to this fine piece of art.
That smell, it’s like something came over me, and took me over. The closer I got to it, the more I lost control. It was like a magnet. The further I was away from it, the more I was in control. But the closer I got to it, the less control it seemed I had of myself. It was crazy. Now 10 seconds before that moment, you’ve never seen a guy more in control, more put together than this guy. I scaled towers, jumped from one wire to another. Climbed any beam you can image, and if that was not an option I right through it.
But not in this moment. I was totally out of control. That cautious voice warning me, be careful, seemed to be drowned out by this rock concert screaming “this is the moment I have waited for all my life!”.
As I partook of this 5 star made in heaven delight, I couldn’t believe I was not dreaming. Honestly I did think to thank the Lord for my blessing before I partook, but like I said, I seriously couldn’t seem to control myself. So I compromised and thanked Him AS I partook.
Here was my thought, if things get bad, I will move on. Try it out. You never know till you try. Let’s go down this road a little bit, if it doesn’t seem to be right we’ll make a U-turn.
At first I was a little apprehensive. Actually a lot. But the magnet within was making me plow through any cautious resistance. It seemed instinctive.
Then about the time, after partaking of this cuisine for a few, my inhibitions seem to relax. It was in this moment the most god awful sound went off. Immediately there was an excruciating pain that shot through my back. My back two legs were all I could move. I kicked with everything I had! So much so that I flipped me and this demonic contraption over on my back. With my feet in the air, there was nothing I could do. I’ve never felt so trapped in my life. In terrible pain, and helpless hope, I laid their in the lowest point of my existence.
I no longer lived how I wanted to live. I went where it went.
As I laid there dying I thought, 1 minute ago, I had an incredible life. I had the freedom. I had the health. I had ability and potential over flowing.
There, in that place, i had not died yet but what I experienced was a far cry from living. Then the moment came and I died.
