Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion looking for some victim to devour.

1 Peter 5:8

NLT Bible


It goes without saying, that as soon as we make a decision to serve Jesus, we automatically become a target for the devil. We all have areas of weaknesses in our lives, things that we struggle with and this is exactly where he tempts us. The devil is like a lion, quietly and quickly pouncing on unsuspecting victims and in an instant, people are caught in the jaws of this powerful predator. It is imperative that we draw close to God through prayer and reading the Word. We also need to ensure that we do our part by staying away from people or places that can lure us back into our old lifestyle.


The devil is sly and cunning and is always trying to trap and ensnare us. He makes worldly things seem good, attractive and appealing and we need to be vigilant and alert. We all know the things that can cause us to revert to our old way of living and the devil knows it too and is constantly on the prowl........his mission is to destroy us. We need to put on the whole armour of God, stand our ground and remain steadfast and firm in our belief. This is ongoing as the devil never gives up, but with God's help we can be victorious.


Thank you Lord that You are my Saviour. You know my weaknesses and my struggles and I pray that with Your help, I will never give in or succumb to the wiles of the devil. Help me to remain steadfast and rooted in You alone. I love you Jesus. Amen!


Be Blessed!
