“Be self-controlled and alert. 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 your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
- 1 Peter 5:8-9
When it seems like everything in life seems to be going wrong, it's important to remember that there are evil forces at work in this world that want to see us fail. Our enemy wants us to give up. But we have God on our side, and we are not alone. Everyone in this world--every single person--goes through some tough times. Some more than others. We have to stand firm against an enemy that wants to see us suffer and we need to stand together, unified, in Christ.
Don't let life knock you down.
