Stand Firm

1 Peter 5:6-9  Today we get in to all kinds of stuff, all the way from American idols to playing video games. This country has a lot of things a young and old person  can get themselves  trapped into and many of them are not all right. This generation seems to put more emphasis in themselves than anything else, always worried about something.  May be that is why it is so hard for them to cry out to Jesus their minds are occupied with self, things of the past, and of the future. Jesus says cast all your cares (worries, anxieties ,all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. Our Lord doesn't want us trapped by some idol whether it's games, drugs, or pornography, these things only bring worries,  come on He's made a way to freedom, out of all these worries. All we got to do is let them go, give them up and put Him first. He says to be sober of mind, in self-control , cautious at all times; for that Enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to devour. Do we understand these scriptures, the enemy is out to jump on all of us, and when we have worries about everything, it makes us an easy grab for him.  But if you cast all your cares on Him who cares for you the devil has no ground over you. Withstand the devil, be firm in your faith. Pray because you have an enemy who wants your soul.
