thoughts from 1 peter 5:8-11

Satan is real. Don't focus on the things that Satan might do to you, but focus on God and the things that He promises He will do!

V.10 "After you have suffered for a little whilee, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself PERFECT, CONFIRM, STRENGTHEN, and ESTABLISH you.

(perfect) If Satan tears you apart=God will mend you for your intended purpose
(confirm) If Satan knocks you down=God will set you back up
(strengthen) If Satan causes you to get sick=God will heal you
(establish) If Satan destroys your foundation/support system=God shall put you on a foundation, restore your support system.

Remember: Satan can do nothing without the permission of God. So, if God allows Satan to attack there is something important at stack. (Job's life...)

God is great!!
