1 Peter 5:8, “Be careful-watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart.”
Make no mistake about it, the God of heaven declares there is a person who is evil through and through and his name is Satan, the devil, Lucifer. His personhood is so real that he has a name. Though we cannot see him personally, he has one purpose in life…to devour you. His goal is to devour your life, honor, integrity, witness, and your soul if at all possible. He loves to lead men to the abyss of hell for all eternity. Why? Because he wants a kingdom with followers and he is doing all in his power this very moment to get you away from God, His truth, the Bible, devotion to the Lord, and His church. Satan loves to bait our lives because he knows we are good at taking his bait. The question is…will you be his victim or will you be a victor. We are victors only as we surrender obedience to God, trust Him and apply His Word to our lives.
