The Cheese Test

Day 22 · May · Proverbs 22:14

Today's Verse

"The mouse doesn't see the trap, it only sees the cheese. Don't be the mouse!"

Proverbs 22:14 · NIV

The Story

Have you ever seen a mousetrap? The mouse runs straight for the cheese without noticing there's a hidden trap underneath. Why? Because it only paid attention to what it wanted, not to what could hurt it.

In life, there are 'cheeses' everywhere: things that look great on the outside but hide a price on the inside. A video that seems harmless but keeps you up too late. A friend who seems cool but talks you into doing the wrong thing. The wise one doesn't run for the cheese without looking around first. And you know Who has the best trap-detector of all? Jesus! He said: 'Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.'

Today's Challenge

The Cheese Test

Before you say yes to anything that seems too good today, stop and ask three questions: is there a hidden price here? What would mom or dad think of this? Would Jesus be happy with me doing this? If the answers are good, go for it! If there's any doubt, wait and ask first.

Whoever does it becomes today's Trap Detector!
