Give No Place To The Devil

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings."1 Peter 5:8-9

Today the day after the secular world celebration of Halloween we pause to reflect on good and evil and not bowing down to the devil. Today’s verse speaks of not giving place to the devil or in other words don’t be captivated by his lures and traps in this world. 

You as a follower of Christ need to be aware that Satan is real and he likes to entrap followers of Christ with lies and schemes. You can choose to run with the devil or follow Christ no middle ground. 

This world is not a believers real home. We have the promise of Heaven. Are you able to give the reason for the hope that is in you when a stranger might ask? Show love, be gentle, and don’t dabble in the world’s idea of happiness. Run your race to win. 

PRAYER: Lord I thank you for hearing my prayers and I thank you that I know you are working. Help me show your joy in a world that is foreign to Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
