Attack of the Prowling Lion

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

I want to get high and drunk. I want to be oblivious.
It’s a daily battle with myself, and a losing battle more often than not. Not that I get high and drunk daily, but I don’t quite allow myself to abide in God, while fully knowing he is abiding in me. I have a deep yearning. I have this little lion that keeps jumping on my shoulder, so annoying. I grab it by its mane and twirl him away, only it keeps coming back stronger and stronger. I think it’s because I’ve gone the entire week without any fellowship…I’ve lost the protection that’s provided within fellowship, the shield that helps me with my daily battles. The devil has a way of penetrating my mind every day I get further away from church. There’s a burden and a fleshly barrier that’s keeping me from going to church right now, but I know or I hope rather sooner than later, God will show me the way.

My shortest post. I’m losing it.

God bLess.
