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)
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.
