"Deadly enemies surround me; ..
They are round me now, wherever I turn,
watching for a chance to pull me down.
They are like lions, waiting for me,
wanting to tear me to pieces."

(Psalms 17.9-12 GNB)

Even after I have overcome an obstacle or temptation, more are still coming. They may not come thereafter, but they will come nonetheless. The devil will not leave me alone; he does not give up.

I must always be vigilant. I must always stay faithful in following God.

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26.41 GNB) It is a daily battle between the flesh and the Spirit. I need to come to God every day for strength and wisdom.
