“Be self-controlled and alert. Your
enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to
devour.”
Like lions target the most venerable
members of a herd of animals for attack, so the devil targets us at our weakest
points. Though that one curse word we mutter when we stub our toe on furniture
in the dark may not seem like a big deal at the time, the devil is lying in
wait for us to show the slightest weakness so that he can strike. We must be
ever vigilant, always alert to the weaknesses in our lives that the devil can
exploit, ready to deflect his attack while we overcome our weakness with God’s
help. We must be self-controlled, solid walls, unwilling to let the devil have
a foothold in our lives.
