       Recall what the Apostle Peter has told us, “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world” (1 Peter 5:8, 9, ESV). We should not be surprised when evil is trying to come upon us, as if something strange were happening to us, but we should realize that our other brothers and sisters in Christ experience the same kinds of attacks. Realizing this can encourage us to stand firm. Satan has evil planned for us in different areas of our lives, whether it be for us individually, or our families, or even our church collectivity. For the individual, Satan wants to warp our minds into thinking wrong thoughts, lies, so that we will not progress in our Christian growth, our character development, but instead be downtrodden and unmotivated in life. Satan wants to saturate our minds in evil.
