The Devil Is In the Details

You have to know he is near, you have to know he is around Perhaps sensing it in your fear or a feeling of being bound You never know what he will do or what other things he'll try But he's out to destroy you because he wants your soul to die Again and again he'll attack seeking the easiest point of entry Knowing all you lack helps in the defeating of one that's free You walk around unprotected and don't even seem to care The King of Kings you neglected and of this, he is aware You he just wants to finish while you wander aimlessly astray So the attacks diminish in just letting you have your say Things go pretty well, theres no need to call for God's Hand Soon you can't even tell what you can't even begin to understand The one who seeks to destroy you is finally on your side And on you he sort of grew in along with your pride Yet you should know he is so near and quietly sneaking around But you don't have any fear, for you haven't heard a sound  1 Peter 5:8  Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour

(The Bible is a Spiritual Book) In 1 Peter 5:8. I suppose many think the Devil is a literal Lion, seeking whom he may devour. His "Influence" is what attracts us. SIN. He places everything within our reach, that we shouldn't take. It is up to each individual, to flee from Sin. This is very uplifting and inspiring. Congratulations Vincent, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Yes, he is in the details. A little bit of envy of another's position, neglecting to call the folks.....little things. Congratulations!

God and prayer are the best repellent. For satan is so much wiser only a fool would think he could win by himself. God bless you and have a wonderful weekend!
