Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does. 1 Peter 5:8-11 MSG

Wow, powerful.
Hey Tiffany!
Great seeing you on WFW!! So glad you could join us today.
So, how's that new camera of yours? Still having fun?
In the beginning it was fun for me until I tried learning all it could do.
Then my new lens came, and I start shooting in manuel.
SO MANY DISASTERS! Blurry pictures, bad lighting, etc!
I'm finally just getting things in control. Still have bad days.
But when I get a good one, I'm really excited.
Love you! (sorry for rambling!)
Awesome….he is poised to pounce….BUT we know who the winner is! Great post!
Yes! He DOES get the last word!
AMEN!!! So powerful and SO TRUE!! Standing firm on HIS foundation today!!
The message translation give such a rich and vivid view of this passage of scripture.
Hi Tiffany,
What an encouraging word shared in this post! "…keep a firm grip on the faith." — Because we're not alone and we're more than conquerors.
Blessings and peace.

Amen! Yes, He does, yes, He does!
Good passage to go with the pic. How close did you get to the wolf? That is one thing that we didn't see, though we missed a small pack by just minutes, maybe less.
Isn't this so true? We must always be aware of the enemy's pounce.
Thanks for a great reminder and a perfect image to go with it – I love your beautiful, classy blog!
Thanks for that Word. I just read it recently I believe.
Tiffany –
This is so very true. We need to be so alert and on guard to protect ourselves with the full armor of God.
Blessings!
Amen! Our life here is only a blip on the line of eternity. In Christ, we really do get the happy-ever-after!
What a beautiful picture of the wolf. I love them but they are predators. Just like the enemy of our souls, he can be beautiful too and cunning. We can be easily fooled by his beauty.
Good picture Tiffany. It was so fun to see all of you Monday. I had a really refreshing time in the Lord and the precious friends He gives to me to help me along the way.
Love,
Paulette
Perfect photo for the verse…the LAST word…what a promise!
What a RIGHT NOW Word dear friend!!! I pray that all is well with you and your family!
I'm going on a break/vac from today through Aug 8th so I wanted to stop in and tell you that I love you and I'm praying for you and your family. I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Love you!
This was awesome!!! I just came through a particular test, and often I would remind myself, this is only temporary.
With love,
Yolanda
