Scripture tells us over and over to watch, be alert, and be on guard. In 1 Peter 5:8, scripture tells us, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” So, how are we to be alert?

1. Pray
2. Spend time daily in the word of God. Meditate on these things throughout the day.
3. Do honest heart exams. Be self-aware. Know your areas of temptation and weakness.
4. Seek other Christian support. Remain connected to the body believers.

1 Peter 5:10-11 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself reestore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
