Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” *3* “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” *4* “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.”
