1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Thought for the Day: The Enemy Desires To Destroy You

Reflection for the Day: Stay Focused On God; He Is Your Protector

We live in the midst of spiritual warfare with the forces of evil seeking to destroy us. Recognizing this, Peter reminds us of the need for us to remain prepared for the attacks; sober and vigilant. One of the enemy’s devices is to falsely suggest that the challenges we face are a result of us seeking to live for God. He omits the reality, that those in the world face the same afflictions.

You are in a warfare with the enemy seeking to devour you. It is essential that you remain vigilant and sober at all times. Yes, there will be challenges that you will face, but they are also faced by those living in the world. Stay focused on God and committed to His Word and you will come out victorious.
