Beware of Satan

Job 1:6 - Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

Luke 22:31 - "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

These verses show us how active Satan is in our world. His very name means “one who separates.” His chief purpose is to separate us from God however he can. He wants us to chase after other things—even good things—so we miss God’s best. He wants to keep us busy. He wants to fill our heads full of lies so that we can’t hear God’s truth. Too many times I have allowed his tricks to steer me down the wrong path. What about you? What tactics is he using to try to defeat you right now?
