Stalked by Satan
'Ready Answer' by Mike FordBe sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The great deceiver often works under cover of darkness, patiently stalking his prey, invisible to them. His senses are sharper than ours, and he sees us when we do not even know he is there, always hunting for the weak, the ailing, and those who have strayed from the herd. Lifted up in their pride, he and his demons once dared to hunt God's throne, only to be soundly routed. Now, as adversaries, they pursue God's people, causing great pain when they attack, pinning down and wounding before going for the kill. Even in his grasp, we can call out for help, for the LORD is near to all who call upon Him, hearing their cry and saving them. Think of him as a lion, quietly and invisibly stalking, always seeking to maneuver you into a vulnerable position where he can leap out of nowhere to maul you. Let this imagery keep you alert to his subtle and dangerous strategies.
