Last night at one-thirty AM my wife's smartphone received a text message. We have someone in the hospital so we burst out of bed to read the message. It was a text of an internet scam which has been active for over a year. The text says that the receiver has won $1000 and to get the money one needs only go to a link provided in the text. The link loads a virus which steals a person's private personal information (passwords, account numbers, social security number, etc) from a computer or smartphone.
This is a criminal activity.
Attacks on personal information are rampant. In just the same way, Christians are constantly under attack from The Evil One and his servants, especially when they are distracted by life's worries or worse, are spiritually asleep. It is not currently popular to think of Satan as a person but the Bible clearly does. Most people, including Christians, do not need his help in falling short of the mark.
Remember, if you resist the devil in the power of the Lord, the devil will run away! James 4:7.
