The Scriptural passage for today is found in 1 Peter 5:8-9: “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.” The apostle knew that the early Christians needed constant encouragement in order to stand strong in the faith. Satan and his minions are very powerful and seek out the those who are not totally committed to God. Fellowship with fellow Christians, a daily study of God’s Word, and a strong prayer life are vital for the Christian. Temptation from satan comes in many guises, and we, through discernment and study, know what is not good for us. We must try the spirits to know and walk the narrow path which leads to the Crown of Life through Christ Jesus. We all face temptation. Resist sin by constantly praying for deliverance from it. The Word of God for the people of God; thanks be to God! Amen!
