Hawks or falcons that had been trained for the sport of falconry were utilised to hunt wild game. However, when given the chance to fly, the "educated predator" frequently flew too high for people to see it. So a shrike, a small caged bird, was frequently carried by hunters. Because the shrike instinctively frightened the predator and angled its head to keep it in view, the guy could always determine where his hawk was by observing the little bird's behaviour.
When trying to identify his spiritual foe, the Christian urgently needs the shrike's keen awareness. According to 1 Peter 5:8, Satan, who is our enemy, "walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."
Peter, the apostle, said that it was our duty to "be sober, be vigilant." We must constantly stay vigilant.
God should have enormous sirens to alert us when the adversary is about to attack. But that's not how the Lord works. Instead, we need to frequently read the Bible, reflect on its teachings, live a prayerful life, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Only then can we be alert to the evil one's impending assault and equipped with grace to repel it.
How well-functioning is your spiritual "shrike system"?
According to 1 John 4:4, "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." The devil is cunning, tricking us all, and he gently brings the strongest to fall; but we are sure to recognise his cunning techniques by making God's warnings a daily priority.
