In the Midst of Lions?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who feel like their soul is in the midst of lions. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Surrounded? Outnumbered? Facing terror? Then stop and realize who God is. He is more powerful than all the enemies combined. He is sovereign.
In Psalm 57:4-6 (ESV) overwhelming odds are juxtaposed against the psalmist’s exalting God.
“My soul is in the midst of lions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongues are sharp swords.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah”
Even though enemies are setting traps, they fall victim themselves. Stay alert. Don’t be overcome by insurmountable odds. Rather, acknowledge God’s glory.
