*PETER 5:8* AMP

Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.”

As Followers of Christ, you are in a constant spiritual battle for your life. You see, not only does God have a plan for your life, but Satan does as well. The Bible says that Satan is prowling like a hungry lion seeking to destroy your life. And not just destroy your life, but to steal your peace & joy while he is doing it. That is why the Scriptures say in 1 Peter 5:8, that we must be sober {well balanced & disciplined}, alert & cautious at all times.

God has a marvelous plan for your life. He wants nothing more than for you to be conquerors & walk through this life victorious in Him! Even though the enemy is out to destroy you, you don’t have to live enslaved to Satan’s destructive plan. In order for you to walk victoriously in the plan the Lord has for you. You have to make a choice!

You can choose a life that is fill with sorrow & misery or one that is filled with Hope & Promise. Getting serious with your relationship with the Lord & being disciplined to put the Lord first in every aspect of your life will allow the Holy Spirit to lead & guide you. He will help you stay alert & stand guard against the enemy who is out to get you. By Choosing & Following Jesus, you will defeat the enemy at every turn!
