To: WhatNot

1 Peter 5:8 King James Version (KJV)

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

I like this translation because it says “seeking WHOM he may devour.

The devil is “specifically” looking for that individual who is likely weak in their faith and can be swayed to the side of the devil.

Do not be THAT person. Do not LET the devil devour you. Be STRONG in your faith and the devil can not devour you.

He will see your strength and pass you by, looking for that person he CAN devour.

Do not LET the devil devour you. Be STRONG in your faith and the devil can not devour you.

This is a great encouragement. If I feel an attack coming on, I just remember what Jams said:

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (Jas. 4:7 AV)
