Sermon: 7/5/26- Wednesday's Devotional

The Snakes Haven't Gone Away
Reading: 1 Peter 5:8-11

Salvation doesn't remove temptation from our lives. The snakes of doubt, sin, and spiritual attack still slither through our daily existence. Peter warns us that our adversary prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. The danger remains real even after we've looked to Jesus for salvation. But here's the hope: the venom no longer has ultimate power over us. When we get bitten by sin, we have an antidote—repentance and returning our gaze to Jesus. Don't be surprised when temptation strikes; be prepared. The solution remains constant: fix your eyes on Christ. What "snakes" are circling your life today? Acknowledge them, but more importantly, look to Jesus for continued healing and strength.
