The Apostle Peter instructed, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (I Peter 5:8). Of course, most of us know this verse and would never willingly open the door for the devil, as a roaring lion, to stalk through the door of our lives. We rightfully flee from overt sins like murder, theft, and adultery. Hopefully, we are wise enough to also avoid more socially acceptable, but just as destructive, sins like drunkenness, sexual immorality, lying, unwholesome talk, and seething anger. Those are all things that can give the devil a foothold in our lives.
