Scripture: Be alert and of sober mind. 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 the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:8-11 NIV Application: Temptation has the objective of dragging us down back into the mess we escaped from. Change for the good is like gravity. It's easier to fall down a mountain than to climb up. But there's relief in knowing that the same Hands that will catch us when we fall are there to pull us up to the pinnacle. Let's keep our minds out of the gutter by training them on the Lord. Prayer: Lord, help us maintain a sober mind and clean spirit. Only You can do this. Amen. Comments are closed.
