Predator

Genesis 28:15 What's more, I am with you,and will protect you wherever you go.We always enjoy the majestic view from our condoin Carefree, Ariz. The backdrop is magnificent, as the mountain ranges display all their beauty from afar. I enjoy the overall view, but am really more interested in the foreground. The jackrabbits and birds abound, and it is fun to watch them frolic and look for food.

Our first evening on the porch filled us with awe as we absorbed the beauty and enjoyed the animals. Before long, the rabbits perked their ears and took off at a dead run. The birds took to flight, also.

As we wondered what was going on, a coyote soon came into view. The predator. On the prowl. Looking for something to consume. Slinking stealthy along at a brisk pace- he was definitely after prey.

God has given animals a special sense of predator danger, and that is why the rabbits and birds dispersed. Oh, that we would be as aware as our animal friends, Satan is the predator in our lives, and he is always on the prowl, looking to consume us. He is the destroyer, and nothing good ever comes from him. He is the author of death and disease, misery and heartache, and every sinful thing in this world. He sneaks up upon us, and will grab and devours us unless we are protected. That's why I put on God's armor every single day, giving me protection from the evil one. I still must be on the lookout... for Satan's ways are devious, and it is easy to fall prey to his conniving schemes. May we call upon God for His protection for He is ready and willing to help meet our every need.
