The Devil and Soap Scum Connection


BTW, thank God my bathroom looks nothing like that. I would die if I had to clean one that disgusting! I cringe just looking at it!

Yesterday I spent some time cleaning the bathrooms in my house. I really enjoy cleaning but cleaning bathrooms is one of my least favorite chores. Cleaning the shower tiles in my bathroom is the worst part of cleaning my bathroom. I hate soap scum and I hate cleaning it too!
While I was cleaning the soap scum off my shower tiles I got lost in deep thought. I started to think about how soap scum is so stubborn; it's really hard to get rid of. This made me think of the devil and how he too is stubborn and will continuously come around even more so when he knows you belong to God.
It made me remember something my grandmother would say, "it's hard to keep out the devil, but it is worse to drive him out (once he has gotten in)." The devil is a very stubborn creature. He has already lost it all so ultimately he has nothing to lose by coming after us. He will constantly come around and show his ugly head. He wants to drag us down with him. It is definitely hard to keep him out but once you let him in you will have to suffer the consequences. It might seem wonderful in the beginning (since the devil comes in very pleasing disguises)but watch out!

What does that have to do with soap scum? Well, soap scum is just that... it is scum and it keeps coming back no matter how often or how good you clean it the first time. It's really hard to keep soap scum off your shower tiles (yes even if you spray every day with one of those "clean shower" product) but it is worse if you let soap scum sit on your shower tiles for a long period of time. Then it will be more disgusting and harder to get rid of it. Just like the devil. Think about it. Pray about it. Guard your heart from the devil. Don't take any chances.
