We are asking for trouble in our lives if we ignore Peter’s warning. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
The weak animal separated from its herd and the young offspring wondering away from the adults are the most susceptible to the attack. Scripture says “He who separates himself seeks his own desire, He quarrels against all sound wisdom” (Proverbs 18:1).
Satan, like the roaring lion, is seeking to attach the one who is in a weakened state. It may be a weakened state of rebellion, a weakened state of addiction or the weakened state of pride. (1 Peter 5:6-8).
