In the same way, Satan never wants to exert more energy than is necessary in order to sneak sin into our life. He will try the obvious tricks first.

Our neighbor's cat love our apartment a little too much. He often waits outside the door for a chance to sneak inside. After a few failed attempts and a few successful attempts, he has stepped up his game. He hides behind the bushes and rushes the door as soon as its opened. He must be the size of an actual gorilla --- at least a baby gorilla. I have to be on guard in order not to let him inside because picking him up is hard work.
