We Don't Make No Pants

1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. 9 Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your brothers in the world.

Ahh, forgive me brothers for what I have to say but, MY OH MY, WHAT A RELIEF we are all in the same suffering camp together. If we weren't, we wouldn't be able to understand and relate in our daily challenges as brothers. We bond in the faith through the successes as well as the trials and tribulations……. Lean on me, when you're not strong, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on……… Even more exciting is that He's given us everything we need to resist the devil, so, I ask that He fills us with the Holy Spirit so full we're overflowing and have NO ROOM for that pesky devil to enter our lives in any way today and the rest of the week. Oh yes, and the rest of the month, year, decade, century, life, generations to come, and forever more. Hey guys, look, the devil lost his pants and he's got to go elsewhere to find some because he now knows WE DON'T MAKE NO PANTS!

Amen.

One of the challenges, it seems to me, is to not wear out amidst all the trials. It even effects us when we are 'on the mountain'. We get tired and many times we burn out. If we would simply ask God how to rest properly - not overdo it - without reaching the point of tanking... We could stay on a spiritual high or at least close to the top much more often.
