Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh My!

8/8/2015

"Be alert and sober of mind.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings." -I Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)
In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, and Toto are skipping down the yellow brick road until they become frightened by the thought of lions and tigers and bears...Oh my!  As we journey through life, we each encounter our own lions, tigers, or bears.  While these circumstances may cause us to stop and proceed cautiously, much like Dorothy, we don't have to travel through the dark forests alone!

When we face the roaring lions of the devil in our lives, we can be reassured of two things: 1) God is with us and more powerful than the devil and 2) Other believers are traveling through the same dark forests that we are facing.  When we face the dark forest and the roaring lions, we shouldn't panic.  We can call out to God and remain calm.  The next thing we can do is fellowship with other believers so we have someone next to us through the journey.  As we move travel our journey with other believers and rely on God for guidance and support, we can tame the roaring lions and reach our destination safely!

Don't let the roaring lions of life scare you.  Call on God and travel with fellow believers to safely reach your destination!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me, for giving me other believers in my life that I can travel with, and for Your willingness to guide me and to tame the lions.  Help me to always trust in Your guidance so I can safely reach my destination with You.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
