Day 02 Devotions

Well, because we lost a day on the way here, I forgot that today is the 9th and so I will be doing two passages today
Yesterday's was
1 Peter 5:8-11
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.

And the God of all grace,
who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,
after you have suffered a little while,
will himself restore you
and make you strong,
firm and steadfast.
To him be the power for ever and ever.
Amen.

This passage reminds me of Yesterday. We were with Chuck Kelly as he was showing us around.
All of a sudden, Chuck started saying watch out guys, watch out. We had no clue what he was talking about. Once we left the area, he informed us that there was a man around us that was looking to steal from us. He was walking up near us and was getting in close. I had no idea. He had said at the start of our walk around the town to keep things in your front pocket and be on the lookout. This story reminds me of this scripture, not to say that that man was the devil, its just a picture of what the devil can do, and that he really does prowl around us and that we need someone to point that out to us sometimes.
