Trojan Horse In Your Home?
By Mark Flippo
The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the city of Troy and win the war. After a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war. Metaphorically a "Trojan Horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to allow a foe into a securely protected space.
Have you allowed the enemy to sneak into your home? Were you not paying attention? Did someone through their actions bring it in and not even know it? What influences are you around? Has the unclean thing been there to long? Are you tired of trying to do good only to have your good work side tracked? From Scripture what did the disciples do about it? What should you do? May our Savior guide you to getting the help you need to clean out any unclean thing.
