1 Peter does such a great job presenting to us the reality that we are going to suffer as a result of following Jesus. So often people assume something must be wrong if they are suffering.
While Peter writes that the Devil prowls like a roaring lion, he also stalks quietly. I have found that nearly every time we set out to do the Lords work, we encounter road blocks that could easily detour us. It could be car trouble, a schedule change, or a missing cow that needs to be found. We have come to expect these distractions. I submit that if things are going too well you should ask yourself if you are really following Jesus, or letting Satan get you off track
