Resist

1 Peter 5:8-9

Peter begins wrapping up his thought about being responsible, submissive, humble and casting your anxiety to God with more character traits necessary to live this Christian world. He says to be self-controlled and alert. If you stop right here you may read over the reason or dismiss the thought entirely. We are to be self-controlled and alert because we have a very real enemy that is looking daily for someone to devour. I fall in the camp that not all the things that are uncomfortable or difficult are attacks from Satan. However, we can't ignore what scripture says about how our story has a villain that is bent on destroying our relationship with God and us in the process. So be alert.

Heart and Soul,
