1 Peter 5:8 NASB "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."Bamm! Out of the clear blue, it came and attacked. Today we are told to be sober, be on the alert for we will be attacked, wanting to be devoured! I enjoy this time of year because of show called "Shark Week" - it's a series of shows about sharks and I am saddened when the sharks attack humans, but I am amazed at what killing machines they can be. I couldn't help but think of today's verse as I watched one show where the shark circled around and around until finally it came out of no where and attacked. It reminded me of how satan, the devil, circles our life until that moment of weakness and then BAMM - he attacks and if we are not on alert, always watching, we will be devoured. Trust me when I say that it doesn't matter when or where, satan will attack, the key is whether or not we are ready for it! peace, tom
