1 Peter 5:8-9 (New King James Version)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
Reflections:
Sober means: clear-headed; Vigilant means: stay awake! Why? Because the devil is always prowling -- waiting to swallow us up (neutralize us spiritually).
He sometimes even appears as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14). Does this mean that anything or anyone could be used as an attack from Satan? To be honest, the answer is yes, even a well-meaning Christian!
Does this mean I need to live my life in a constant state of Paranoia? No � not at all; just stay suited up in the armor of God (Eph 6:10-18) and stay dialed into the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). Isn�t this is our reasonable service to God anyway (Rom 12:1-3)?
If we stay on our spiritual toes, always vigilant, then �No weapon formed against us will prosper (Isa 54:17).� We must remember, that the devil is very good at what he does, but when a discerning child of God resists him steadfastly in the faith (with Christ�s authority) we can send him whimpering away with his tail between his legs � always!
