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.________________________________________
