1 Peter 5:7–8 (ESV)
7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
DEVIL (Gk. diábolos “slanderer”). Another name for Satan, God’s adversary. Whereas the Old Testament contains references to “demons” (so RSV, NIV; KJV “devils”) and “satyrs,” the New Testament presents a more developed demonology. Here some of the angels are said to have fallen from their state of integrity in heaven and placed themselves under the rule of the devil. As their prince (Matt. 9:34), the devil—called the “father of lies” and the “murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44)—opposed Christ’s redemptive work by sending demons into people who then involuntarily became demon-possessed (see DEMON).
The devil himself sought to annul Christ’s ministry by his temptations in the wilderness, the region where, according to the Old Testament, demons and satyrs existed. Temporarily abandoning the effort after three unsuccessful attempts (Matt. 4:1–11 par. Luke 4:2–13; Mark 1:13 has “Satan”), the devil waited for an opportune moment (Luke 4:13), which came during the passion week when he had Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ disciples, betray his master (Luke 22:3, “Satan”; John 6:70; 13:2). (Though Luke suggests Jesus’ victory over the devil, he also records Christ’s awareness of his power [e.g., Luke 8:12; see also Matt. 13:39], especially through his endeavors to block the expansion of the kingdom of God by means of demon possession.) At Acts 13:10 the apostle Paul blinds Elymas on account of his alleged cooperation with the devil.
Through his resurrection Christ broke the power of death and, in principle, the power of the devil (Heb. 2:14; cf. Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8). God’s adversary may still prowl “like a roaring lion” (1 Pet. 5:8), but his reign will end at the great battle of the final tribulation (Rev. 20:10) or at the Day of Judgment (Matt. 25:41). Meanwhile, believers are warned not to play into the hands of the devil (Eph. 4:2) but to resist his wiles (6:11; cf. 1 Pet. 5:9), and office bearers are exhorted to display kindness to unbelievers in the hope that they may escape from the devil’s tentacles (2 Tim. 2:25–26).

Another towering travertine geothermal cone demarcating Jupiter Terrace (left) and Palette Spring in Yellowstone's Mammoth Hot Springs area.
Funny that so many geologic features are named after the bad guy. Just in Yellowstone, there's also a Devil's Kitchen also in Mammoth (as well as in Shell, Wyoming, see my photos thereof). Just north of the park, in Custer-Gallatin National Park, is Devil's Slide (which I think is a volcanic dike), and beyond, Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The list goes on!
One of the huge 'Devil's Arrows', Boroughbridge. There may have been five of these gritstone menhirs at the site originally. Now only three survive. They appear to have been placed to align with the southernmost summer moonrise.
One of the most popular spots at Devil's Lake State Park, Devil's Doorway was created by the last Ice Age, 15,000 years ago. Although it is not life-risking to get to the doorway, like these two, it is a very treacherous hike up the bluff to get there.

Took a road trip up north of us for a little day hiking. It was one of our few sunny days of late and there was a lot of color around the lake. We even spotted a flock of Cedar Waxwings picking berries off the trees! It certainly got crowded as the day wore on. Could be the last warm day we have for a while. Snow in the forecast!!!!!
Devils Tower National Monument located in northeastern Wyoming bathed in late evening light. A really cool and unique geological formation, it was formed by an igneous intrusion that uplifted the overlaying sedimentary rock layers. Well worth the visit if you are making a trip through the area. This place is also sacred to the native tribes that inhabit the area, as is evidenced by the hundreds of prayer cloths they have placed around the base of the structure.
wa Dogs Brewery, the brewing division of Victoria Caledonian Distillery, has announced the release of a new limited edition beer in collaboration with Cascadia Seaweed that represents “a harmonious union between land and sea”.
Devil’s Apron ISA (4.4% abv) is described as follows: Sugar Kelp was infused into the mash to give this session IPA a sweet, savoury, and sea breeze backdrop. Tropical fruit flavours from a heavy dry hop of Azacca & Mozaic blend in with the wild ocean aromas, providing the perfect companion for seaside adventures.
Generally this was a bit of a disappointing day out. You can't get near the stones easily as they are in the middle of a corn field and the weather was just dull. I can't say that I really like any of the pics I took. The non-ir ones are even worse, just grey and uninspiring. At least you can usually extract a bit of sky from the ir ones.
For anybody who wants to know what a Devils Arrow is you should have a look at the previous picture, the links are on there.
Devils Tower National Monument
Wyoming
According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower. When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.

This geological growth stands out abruptly in the middle of Mammoth Hot Spring's Palette Springs. Fascinating.....
Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully with some sun and warmth.
Thanks for taking a look!

Vale of Rheidol Railway engine The Prince of Wales and Devils Bridge end of line station. The name comes from the old bridge built some say by the Devil himself after an encounter with a local elderly woman in the 11th century. The Devil was outwitted by the woman and fled in shame.
