“And there came a lion.” Normally we think of
a lion not as a special blessing from the Lord but only as a reason for alarm.
Yet the lion was God’s opportunity in disguise. Every difficulty and
every temptation that comes our way, if we receive it correctly, is God’s
opportunity.
When a “lion” comes to your life,
recognize it as an opportunity from the Lord,
no matter how fierce it may outwardly seem.
Even the tabernacle of God was covered with badger skins and goat hair.
No one would think there would be any glory there,
yet the Shechinah glory of God was very evident underneath the covering.
May the LORD open our eyes to see Him,
even in the temptations, trials, dangers, and misfortunes. C.H.P.
Ah, lions. I have had many, but they actually came as messengers from God with powerful messages. They came in scripture, through pictures, mentioned in devotions and on pastoral radio programs, then strangely, one (a mountain lion) ran across the road in front of my car. I was driving through town in a very populated area, not out in the country. Needless to say, God had my attention. Yes, Lions, they come in many forms in our lives. My favorite of course is the Lion of Judah. Great thoughts!
