1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter begins to give some commands to live by!
Sober-minded: Clear headed (Peter wants us to be clear headed when he presents a new subject)
Watchful: Be alert
Your adversary: Hostile enemy
Hostile: Unfriendly
The devil!
I am not your enemy!
Prowls around: to walk
Like a roaring lion!
Satan is not a wimp , nor is he to be ignored; thus, we need to be prepared!
Satan is not a cowardly lion like in the Wizard of Oz.
A coward is someone who does not attract, and such a one invokes no fear; thus, no defense is needed.
The term roaring lion comes from , describing the most feared animal at that time. Such lions would strike absolute fear into the people who had no real defense against them (; ; ). This referred to Satan’s power and destructiveness, as he is someone who is out to get you and an enemy of God. He is your enemy, the devil/Satan, as his name means “the slanderer” and “our adversary.” This refers to the accuser or the prosecutor (; ; ; ). Peter says Satan is seeking to accuse us of wrong so he can blind us to God’s love and grace. He twists our mindsets to be ashamed, seek apostasy (because we think God does not care), or into not taking our faith seriously.

Satan seeks us out as the lion who seeks the weak prey. His prey is Christians, specifically those who are not mature and not always faithful. Christian maturity requires us to submit and to be humble.

He wants fear to shake our submission to the Father, and lies to distort our understanding of God's goodness. Since He cannot touch the believer's soul, Satan seeks to leave us as weak and ineffective servants of our King.

Satan is roaring at us everywhere we turn. Out of our TV’s and radios. Across the internet. In newspapers and magazines. In movies and the music industry. He is a master at creating, confusion, distrust, anger, anxiety, temptation, depression, and distraction.
