April 24, 2023:   Nothing To Eat Here

4/24/2023

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8, ESV)

It is so good to know that God is watching out for us! His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. He will keep us from dashing our foot against a rock. He is good and does good. But just as God watches over us, Peter informs us that Satan is watching too, but he does not have our good in mind. He is watching for that opportune time in which he can devour us.

Therefore Peter says to be sober-minded. If one is not sober or is 'buzzed,' they no longer operate with a clear head. They are not as 'sharp' as they would be if they had nothing to drink. Peter's point is that we stay sharp, knowing that an enemy seeks to kill, steal and destroy. My introduction to African life meant I had to be aware of Hippos, baboons, cobras, and other things that can eat you. It did not mean I could not go out—it meant when out, I had to be aware of what was around me. 

Peter reminds you and me that the devil is seeking whom he may devour. As long as we stay sharp and are watchful of his schemes, there will be nothing to eat when he knocks on our door!
