Roaring Lions

Have you ever seen the movie "Ghost in the Darkness"? If you haven't it is about two rouge male lions who kill for "sport" or "fun" rather than for their need for food alone. It is based on a true story. I was amazed at how these lions worked in tandem to hunt and kill workers attempting to build a railroad. They were ruthless in their approach and they even kept "trophies" of their kills. They were finally defeated by a determined man, using skills and weapons he had at his disposal.
Today in the real world many of us are stalked by a lion ourselves. It is not a physical lion. It is not a big cat with a mane and large powerful claws. The lion that is stalking us in none other than SATAN (aka: the devil). I Peter 5:8 of the Bible tells us, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Satan does not want to destroy us because he has to, he does it for fun. He is out to destroy our souls and our lives just because he can. He does it for the pure joy of it. He does it out of his hatred for GOD.
Like the lions in "Ghost in the Darkness", Satan is a bloodthirsty creature, out to hunt us down. But unlike the lions in the movie, this "lion" cannot be killed with weapons or our own wits. Only with the full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) can we defeat this enemy. I pray that you are watchful for the attacks of Satan and that you are prepared when he does attack.
