Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” ( 1 Peter 5:8 , New International Version). One primary cause lurks behind the suffering and tragic circumstances that afflict so many people. The Bible reveals that a powerful, intelligent and vastly influential being actively orchestrates the wickedness that dominates our planet. Most of us have heard of him.

After all, to many the devil seems like a fairy-tale character—a grotesque, blood-red creature with horns, a pointed tail and bat’s wings who carries a pitchfork and inhabits an infernal region of ever-burning flames.

How can young people prepare for successful careers? It takes planning. According to an old expression, "People don't plan to fail; they fail to plan."

Once you have discovered your life's goal, "do it with your might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Plan for change as well. In the future, you could need retraining since the fund of knowledge increases so quickly. Also consider two other professions on which to fall back should the job market change drastically. Having a career plan will help you avoid drifting aimlessly. A potential employer likes to see steady experience indicated on your resume. Job-hopping, which indicates instability, is not looked on favorably by head hunters.
