Be Alert

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. ~ 1 Peter 5:8-9 ~



Often when we're not paying attention the enemy will sneak up on us and use situations in our lives to lead us into doubting God. When we start to doubt, fear creeps in, and then disbelief, and eventually disobedience and a hardening of the heart that leads to death. The Word says in Romans 8:28  "...we know that God works all things together for good to those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose." Whatever your facing in your life whether it be financial, pain, sickness, broken relationship, or anything else, do not let then enemy devour you, be on your guard against doubt, fear, and disbelief. Trust the Word of God, stand firm in the faith you have in Christ Jesus, and find strength in knowing you are not alone.
