Can the Devil use pride and focusing too exclusively on yourself to inflate worry in your life? Yes. He can, he does, he will.
Worry loves to make you question the past, fear the future, and doubt God in the present, so that you are forever frantic and mentally somewhere else. However, by focusing on Jesus, and by clothing yourself with humility, you can successfully resist the ways he is prowling around you and trying to sow destruction in your life.
This sermon unpacks 1 Peter 5:1-14 and addresses worry and anxiety, humility, and an antidote to the Devil. Instead of giving him an open door, let’s be alert, informed, and proactive. A deep heart-rest in the sovereign care of our Good Shepherd is possible.
