A family in Texas had a little lion cub. Somehow, they had gotten it and they thought they would raise it as a pet and keep it in their apartment.
One night they stepped across the hall to visit their friends while their baby boy slept in his crib. When they came back to their apartment, they heard a strange noise in the nursery. They rushed in and saw that the lion cub had eaten several fingers off the hand of their little baby boy.
Can you imagine how they felt about that lion cub, having kept it there in the house as a pet, thinking it was something they could control?
You cannot control the sin of the Canaanites. It will control you. Don’t keep it around.
