Like a Roaring Lion... well... Shark

Check out "The Enemy Prowls" on the "A Man Coming Alive" blog. The picture is of a great white shark trailing behind a lone scientist in a kayak off the coast of South Africa. Donny Prater makes an insightful comparison of the shark in the photograph to how the Bible tells us we should think about the Devil.

1 Peter 5:8-9 (New International Version)

8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
His post reminded me of a favorite book, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis which is an entire book devoted to how the Devil seeks to undermine us and keep us away from God.

Thanks for reading my post! I'm going to have to read that book as soon as possible. A blogger friend of mine (Hook-gracewalk) loved it and made an excellent post about "wormwood" and how it relates to Revelations. That picture says it all doesn't it! The enemy prowls, always seeking to strike us from behind. Thanks Again, Donny
