The Lions
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and you will agree that lions are fearsome; not to be trifled with; you don’t want to get near them, right? That’s how I feel about 1 Peter chapter 5, where Satan walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. And I wonder, today, do you feel as though a lion is out to get you? Well, there’s a stronger lion in you than the one who’s on the prowl for your soul. It is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and the Bible assures you that greater is he; that is, Jesus who is in you, than he who is in the world. Yes, the Lion of Judah is also fearsome, but he’s not out to kill; he’s out to save. Just like he gave strength to David and Samson to kill their lions, the Spirit of the Lord will come mightily upon you so that you can shred to pieces that prowling lion the devil today. And one day, the Bible says you’ll even crush those lions under your feet.
