Someone shouted, "There goes a mouse! Get it!" But she disappeared in a small hole in the floor of the cottage porch. So we set a trap. The next morning, we had the mouse. (Mice aren't too smart.)

The following day we were surprised to see a tiny mouse crawling on the floor. A few minutes later we found another and then three more baby mice wandering aimlessly in search of something.

We had caught the mother mouse, and now the babies were leaving their nest in search of mama and food. They were content as long as mama fed them, but when they got hungry they became restless and began to search for something to eat.

Little mice will stay put as long as they are properly fed. This is also true of God's people, often referred to in the Bible as sheep. Why do so many members of our churches get drawn away by cults and teachers of error? It is very hungry sheep who wander about looking elsewhere for food. When I read the church ads in the newspaper and see what people are being fed, I'm surprised that there aren't more wandering sheep.

Church leader, feed your flock well. And church member, be careful what you swallow.  — M.R. De Haan
