Sobered by the
thought that Satan wants to kill you? Good. You're obeying God's Word: "Be SOBER, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour" (1 Peter 5:8, KJV).
To be SOBER : To be
free from excess, extravagance, or exaggeration, is also to show self control , sober restraint.
Drugs,
alcohol, and illicit sex are three of his weapons of choice against your age
group. If he can't get you to OD(Over does), or wrap your pickup around an oak
tree(To lost ones mind), he'll take you slowly with an STD. Those aren't his
only weapons, of course. Others include foolish dares, abortion, unnecessary
heroics, and bottles of sleeping pills. He's
a master assassin.
And
he's likely to invite you to your own funeral with some pretty obvious lies:
- "It's risky, yeah. But if you're going to join this fraternity, suck it up and take the challenge."
- "Can't you get this thing to go any faster?"
- "But everyone does this on their twenty-first birthday."
-
Even Jesus had to ward off Satan's attempt at assassination prior to the cross: "Go ahead and jump. God will send angels to catch you" (Matthew 4:6).Be sober. Stay sober. Don't get paranoid, but do remember, an angel of death roams nearby
Still Hungry? John 8:44, John 10:10
