We often idolize things that don’t truly affect our lives—football stars 🏈, celebrities 🌟, social media 📱, and politics ⚖️. But are we putting these idols before our families 👨‍👩‍👦 or our relationship with Jesus? ✝️ The enemy is always prowling, looking for a way to devour us 🦁 (1 Peter 5:8). When we’re distracted or not sober in our thoughts, we’re vulnerable to his lies—whether through music 🎶, people 👥, or negative self-talk 💭. The devil’s goal is to steal, kill, and destroy 💔 (John 10:10), but Jesus offers life ❤️. Like Him, we must use God’s Word 📖 to overcome temptation and run toward Christ. 🏃‍♂️ Don’t let distractions pull you away—stay focused on the blessings God has for you 🙏 and be bold in your faith 💪.

Verses to ponder this week:

1 Peter 5:8

Ezekiel 28:12-13

John 10:10

Matthew 4:1-11
