1 Peter 5:8-NIV
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Growing up around individuals in my life who were often drunk, when I initially read this scripture, I connected it to having a sober mind from alcohol. Although this interpretation might be true for some people, I learned the writer is speaking of a deeper pollution of the mind that comes in different forms. Think about where you are in life at this time, what has Satan filled your mind with that continues to distract you from God’s purpose for your life?
