from the New King James Version

1 Peter 5:6-11

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.


I really love this verse. .....the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour..... What a vivid reminder that there is an evil in this world looking to destroy us in any way possible. There is nothing particular in my life that prompted me to post this verse today, but it is one I wish I had meditated on during hard times. I just wanted to put this out there for anyone who may need it right now.
