Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1 Peter 5:8-9)
Be alert because the devil is your enemy and he is trying to get you. Why should we be alert? Because we must resist the devil by trusting God you aren't the only one that is tempted by the devil.
Why would I be told to be alert if understanding the devil's movements is impossible or cannot help me? Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. (2 Cor 2:11) We should understand how the devil tricks us so that we can resist him better.
