He is out to get you

1 Pe 5:8-11
8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

  • Would you go around calling the dog?
  • Would you leave your garage door open?
  • What is your attitude about life and righteousness?
  • Would you consider yourself a person that soberly considers your actions?
  • Would you consider yourself a person that is on alert?
  • Would you consider yourself a person that has enemies?
  • How do you feel knowing you have an adversary that is out to get you?
  • What do you do to protect yourself from the devil's attacks?
  • How can the devil devour you?
  • What is necessary to deal with the devil?
  • How much of your suffering can you clearly attribute to the devil?
  • How much of your sin is related to avoiding suffering for doing right?
  • How does your faith help you deal with sin and suffering?
  • What does enduring suffering produce?
  • Who will be responsible for your outcome if you resist the devil and endure suffering?
  • Where you called to glory with Christ or to an easy, happy life here?
