A Roaring Lion



In 1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV), Peter writes, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."


Be alert. The devil is absolutely vicious and bloodthirsty, and he will do all that he can to tempt you, to discourage you, and to ruin you, your walk, and your testimony. The devil loves nothing better than to see people abandon the faith and return to the world, and he will stop at nothing to accomplish it.


I have seen far too many seemingly faithful believers who have gone off of the Christian path and who have abandoned the faith. It is so utterly sad and so utterly tragic.


It is vital to remain firm in the faith, no matter your life's circumstances. It is vital to remain obedient to God's Word and submissive to God's will, no matter what. It is the only way to resist the roaring lion that will never give up trying to devour you.
