I Am a LION!

A brisk morning to come and sit with You, Father, but my heart is warmed by Your presence.

1 John 4:4-6 (<<click here to read the passage)

“…the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” v4b NLT

Lord, if we sit and think too long on the rampant evil and wickedness that surrounds us, it’s way too easy to become fearful. And if we are not careful, we become immobilized. Like turtles, we withdraw into our shells, thinking we can just hide from it all.

Now I admit evil and wickedness are way stronger than I am …but I am no longer a child of evil and wickedness. I am a child of the Lion of Judah and Your Spirit, oh Lord, lives in me. Evil and wickedness may be stronger than me, but You are “greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”

So, Lord, as I look about me, yes, it’s scary – it’s overwhelming. But I am not a turtle. I am a LION for I am Yours! And that means, in You, I am brave. In You, I am powerful. No matter how much evil makes the rafters shake…and may want to shake me, as well, but I will stand firm in the fact that I have peace in You.

You proclaimed in John 16:33,

“In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]” AMP

Amen – so be it!
