The apostle Peter offers us a different kind of wake-up call—one that while unpleasant is necessary. He alerts us to a spiritual battle we are engaged in with a powerful enemy. Peter warns, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). This is a call to wake up, see the danger, and be ready for his attack!
Only when we are aware of the danger that faces us every day will we consciously seek the help we need. And only if we are on the alert will we lean on the strength of our Lord, who is greater than our spiritual enemy.
Though evil may surround us,
We need not fear defeat;
For when God fights the battle,
Our enemies retreat. —Sper

The Christian life is a battleground.
Christians are always in danger. They are always followed by temptations or anything that can ruin their testimony. But as Peter had said, be vigilant! Always keep your eyes on your enemy because you cannot tell when he'll attack you. Be always ready. do not forget your shield (prayer) so no one can harm you. God is always beside us. Trust in the Lord so you will not be attack by anyone. Help also your self from keeping Satan's bait.
