Life is not a playground, but a battleground
Each one of us has a battlefield, from the day we were born until the day we lay in the graveyard. We are a soldier of Christ. We have to watch out and be alert all the time. ⁃ “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”1 Peter 5:8 NLT. In a war movie, when does the enemy usually attack, usually at night, when the soldier is drunken on the part and unaware of their surrounding. A thief doesn't usually steal in daylight but in the shadow of the night.
Devil tactics are DEVOURING the believer. He won't bite us up, but he can use his word to devour us. He doesn't physically attack Jesus, he makes a suggestion to him. He doesn't take the fruit of knowledge of good and evil and hand it to the hand of Adam and Eve. He used words to deceive them. How did Jesus overcome his strategy? He did that by talking back to him with the word of God.
