8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:8-11
I had a friend come up to me and show me a balance band that he was wearing and showed me how it worked. This balance band supposedly provides you balance to withstand the force someone is trying to use to tip you over into an unbalanced state. Now, I cannot confirm nor deny whether this band worked on me, but what I can tell you is that with only two legs, when someone pulls down on one side of your body you are going to tip over. That is where balance comes into play for us, or another way to look at is that a bike has a kickstand to help keep it propped up. Balance is our kickstand, and what happens when our life gets out of balance. Typically it is when the enemy attacks and pulls down on us, and what do we have to rely on. Certainly we don't have a kickstand, physically anyway. Well, I know that my true kickstand that keeps me balanced and standing against the devil's schemes is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let Him prop you up when you feel like you are falling over, He is strong and mighty to save.
Have a great weekend.
