Are you being intentional with being alert? Are you on the look out for the devil? This Transformation Tip Tuesday I encourage you to examine your daily/weekly practices and develop your own plan to prevent being devoured by the devil. The Bible warns us:

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Bible also tells us how to be ready for the schemes of the devil:

“Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We must “stand firm in faith.” How do you prepare yourself to stand firm in faith? Some ideas are;

* daily devotion and prayer time

*reading and memorizing scripture

*journaling prayers and insights

*weekly worship

*listening to Christian music

*being intentional about who/what you read, watch, listen to

What are some practices you have for “being alert” and prepared for the devil lurking? How do you guard yourself? Today be aware of how you start your day. Do you have room to grow in this area? What new practice will you be intentional about to stand firm in faith?
