The Highway of Life

1 Peter 5:8-9-"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."

In spite of the many images and portrayals of Satan as some impish, mythical character who sits upon our shoulder and whispers things into our minds. This is not a clear picture of who Satan truly is. He is our enemy for a reason. Satan is evil and Satan is real. He and his power are intended to harm. But rather than spending our time worrying about him, let's resist him when we are tempted and focus on Jesus. He's the one who won the big showdown at Calvary, triumphing over Satan. He took Satan's greatest tool and disarmed it. Now we can resist and Satan will flee.
