Read my thoughts on this chapter:

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.      {Verse 6}

Be sober-minded; be watchful.  Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.  {Verse 8}
