1st Peter 5:7 - 8 - the devil as a roaring lion trying to devour those who are devourable by getting them to walk by sight and not by faith. This is one of the reasons why he hates Faith so much because Faith is the only Law that puts God to work. In Mark 4:19 it says the cares of this world will creep in and choke the Word of God rendering it fruitless, useless and non effective. Fair warning.
