The Subtle Whispers of Satan

Peter tells us that Satan walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

 (I Peter 5:8). It is for that reason that Peter goes on to tell us to be sober and vigilant. From what we learn from watching his behavior in other passages is he rarely announces himself as such. 

He is usually very subtle in his approach. Therefore the one seeking to devour you often whispers subtly in your ear. There is no reason to study your Bible. There is no reason to get up on Sunday morning and attend worship. 

After all you have worked hard all week and Sunday is really the only time you have to relax. He will try to convince you that you have plenty of time to live your life and you can get right with God later. The list goes on and on but the conclusion is the same. The quite whispering of Satan are as dangerous as his frontal attacks, if not more dangerous. 

Remember: We can’t walk with God while running with the devil.
