Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 NIV
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2 NIV
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He didn't give in or fall, He resisted the devil by taking refuge in God's word. And so it is with us followers of Christ. The enemy is on a constant prowl waiting to trap you, if not in the area that you struggle with, then maybe with something new. He is not giving up easily, so you have to be on your guard. The enemy didn't give up on Jesus in just one try, he went on and on, three times until Jesus told him to get away. The only way to be on guard is to make God your refuge and build a strong and solid foundation in him. For when you resist the devil, he will flee from you (James 4:7). So the next time you find yourself at the edge of temptation, say, "In Jesus' name, Get away"
I pray that you build your foundation in the abundant love of God our Father. Like Jesus may you grow in faith, courage and wisdom and may His Holy Spirit strengthen your will. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
