"Stay alert! Watch out! Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
That is present tense, and that is an opponent, an adversary, someone working against you.
My tendency is to go to discouragement.
This must not be.
You are being opposed. Expect opposition.
"2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." James 1:2,3
It should be joy to us, because we should value and deeply pursue the perseverance that it produces.
God help us. Give us new eyes, new desires. YOU!
