As a roaring lion

 by David Long

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Pet. 5:8).

"And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it" (Job 1:7).

"And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it" (Job 2:2). 

Satan is not God. He can't be in two places at once. He is roaming the earth trying to destroy God's creation. He is trying to destroy God's creation because he hates God. His pride has condemned him (1 Tim. 3:6). He wants you to fall into the same trap.
