Resisting the Devil We hear of the adversary in Zec_3:1. The enemy of Christ desires to hurt the Shepherd by injuring His flock. The hunger of a lion for his prey is an emblem of the insatiable desire of our spiritual foes for our undoing. Walks about...temptation never assails us long from the same quarter. Perhaps the figure of a roaring lion suggests an outburst of persecution, which made timid people tremble. See 2Tim_4:17. All grace is in God for every hour and need, 1Pet_5:10. We too are called to His eternal glory through Christ. The path of suffering, and that path alone, leads to the world where suffering is unknown. The suffering is only for a little while. Perfect, that nothing be lacking; stablish, that we may not waver; strengthen, that we may stand and withstand. Silvanus is Silas, 1Pet_5:12. He was a man to be trusted. Peter’s theme was grace. So he began, so he finishes; and from the church in the literal Babylon, or in Rome, Rev_14:8, where he and Mark were living and working, he sends this message of grace, and love and peace. We are in the world but not of this world. We must unite like never before to overcome the darkness that is coming against us in this hour. Many are being overcome by fear but those who know God and have put their complete trust in Him...can rest and be at peace knowing that all things are working together for our good and He is leading us victoriously in the direction of our destiny. Things might look like a hot mess at the moment, but God can use the messiness to bring forth healing & holiness...all for His glory. Amen.
