Stay alert, watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. – 1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)
KEEP WATCH CAREFULLY!
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know that you have an enemy?
He exists in a realm that we cannot see
Stay alert, watch out for the devil
He prowls like a roaring lion to spread evil.
He is always looking for someone to devour
He watches you constantly each and every hour
Keep feeding on the truth that comes from God’s word
It is your best weapon and sword to defeat this evil world.

When you have an enemy that you can see, it is easy to avoid an attack isn’t it? You can wear protection so you can avoid being hurt. But it is a different story when your attacker is invisible to the naked eyes. How can you strike back when you don’t even see where he attacks you?
In Ephesians 6, we are cautioned and made aware that we have a daily battle with unseen forces. Even though we cannot see them with our naked eyes, it doesn’t mean that they are not real. 1 Peter 5:8 gives us a warning to stay alert and watch carefully for the wiles and the tactics of the devil. He is always there watching who he can devour and tempt into sin.________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, please defend me from any form of attack by the devil.
REFLECTION
How can you be more vigilant in keeping watch over the devil’s tactics?

LIKE A ROARING LION
A poem and essay by ILMA
Be careful, watch out for your great enemy
Like a roaring lion, he lurks very stealthily
He is hungry to devour someone who is feeble
Make sure you are grounded on truth and is stable.
Always seek the Lord and guard your mind and heart
When you have unbelief, that’s when he attacks
Take every authority God gave you, crush his schemes
Be sure you have confessed and repented of your sins.

Lions are the only big cats to live in groups, called prides. Interesting! Pride, just like the deadliest and origin of all sins. They work together to defend territory and hunt and use intelligent hunting tactics to catch prey. Lions roar to communicate their position to other prides and is the loudest of any big cat. It can be heard up to 8 km away. They have terrific night vision and are 6 times more sensitive to light than humans. This gives them a distinct advantage over some prey species when hunting at night. The bible warns us to be watchful of the devil who prowls like a roaring lion to devour, especially in the dark when we are vulnerable. Be alert and make sure you are close to God always.
