The Danger of Legalism - Your Daily Bible Verse - April 30.When we resist the devil by humbly submitting our will to God, the devil will flee.

However, it is a mistake to think that we can withstand him on our own. Just as man-eating lions are often either sickly or desperate, the devil knows that his time is short (Revelation 12:12). We can avoid his deceptions by carefully searching the Scriptures. But the Christian need not be deceived: “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20). Revelation says Satan is the one “who deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). Just as lions prefer to hunt in the dark or from nearby cover, the devil often uses deception to conquer his prey. The Bible warns us that the devil is like a lion: “Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). When prey is scarce, they have even been known to attack men and even elephants. While lions weigh between 260 and 400 pounds, their usual prey weighs between 400 and 1,200 pounds, such as wildebeests and zebras. They cannot sustain high speeds for long, so they stalk their prey, relying on cover or darkness to reduce visibility. Lionesses usually hunt for the pride in coordinated groups.
