| The Devil |
| “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). |
| Here is a quote from Corrie ten Boom (Amsterdam, April 15, 1892 – Orange, California, April 15, 1983), the Christian, who with her father helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II: |
| “When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles… |
| When a Christian stops reading and studying the Bible, the devil laughs… |
| When a Christian stops praying, the devil shouts with joy.” |
| Interesting way to put it, isn’t it? The devil knows that these three things, fellowship, reading of the Word, and prayer, are essential to a Christian living for the Lord, being a testimony to the world, and having a healthy, strong Christian faith. Don’t let your guard down when it comes to these three things. “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). |
