Stay
Alert! Watch Out For Your Great Enemy, The Devil.
He
Prowls Around Like A Roaring Lion,
Looking
For Someone To Devour.
Scripture
1
Peter 5
6 So
humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right
time he will lift you up in honor.
8 Stay
alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around
like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Observation
I
remember my pastor, Bruce Moore, saying once while he was speaking
about the importance of verse 1 Peter 5:7, “We need to take every
worry and concern to God in prayer because the very next verse, 1
Peter 5:8, tells us that we have an enemy, the devil, and he is
determined to wreck our lives and destroy us.
Yes,
we have an enemy and it is not our spouse nor our boss. Satan's plan is to wreck your life. How is he doing with that? If he is having
success then we need to reread 1 Peter 5:7 and do what it says!
Matthew
4:10
“Get
out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures
say, ‘You must worship the Lord your
God and serve only him.’”
John
10:10
10 The
thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to
give them a rich and satisfying life.
Application
I
will take all of my worries and concerns to the Lord.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to remember that You want to me to depend on You to
take care of everything that I tend to worry about. You have always
taken care of me. I know that you will take care of me in the future.
You are on my side!
I
pray for anyone reading this blog today who is having a hard time.
Help them to see that 1 Peter 5:7 is a promise for them today. May
Your face shine on them today with Your favor!
Jeremiah
29:11
11 For
I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.
“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future
and a hope.
Daily
Bible Reading: Isaiah 46,47,48,49; 1 Peter 5

I have made it a habit to pray for those who read this blog! I enjoy
lifting you and your family up to the Lord in prayer.
