Grace for your spirit. September 14, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I Peter 5:8

The devil is always our adversary. He always wishes to see us devoured and destroyed. This is not a job that he handles alone. We can give him help by not being of sober spirit and alert. The things that keep us from being alert are often evil associations, rebellious spirits, boredom, separations, lack of study, and failure to pray. These kind of things get us off the alert status and vulnerable. We think we will hear a roaring lion and can get ready at the land minute. Unfortunately, the lion prowls when he is seeking to devour, and devil sneaks up on us too. We will never hear the roar until it is too late.
