That Roaring Lion



(1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (KJV))

A while back our teen group went on a teen winter safari to the Sacramento Zoo. After the zoo, we went to the Old Spaghetti Museum. The people there were very kind workers. The chandeliers were beautiful, they had crystals hanging from them and they had beautiful decorations too!

At night we went to West Valley Baptist Church. The guest preacher, Bro. Kobernat, preached about, how sin can attack at any moment in our lives. In the San Francisco zoo a tiger escaped and attacked three men. That is a perfect example how sin can do the same thing, attack at any moment of our lives. We should always be ready for anything to happen in our lives.

1.) Destruction- the enemy is seeking to destroy our lives.
My main verse at the top, talks about the roaring lion and how he is seeking whom he may devour, he is the enemy in our lives seeking to destroy it.
2.) Death- is so much closer than you think.
That means, death is so much closer when you do wrong.
3.) Decisions- that you and I make are so much closer than they appear.
That means, if you make a wrong decision the consequences are so much closer than they appear.
4.) Deliverance- is so much closer than it appears.
Just how God delivered Daniel from the lions den, he can deliver us from our every day sin.

I used my definitions over and over again, if you were wondering that at all. It doesn’t matter if they are the same; it is because I am trying to get the word out to you.

My Prayer for today:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me make wise decisions and have me to stay away from the 'lion'. Help me to obey your word, and have me to listen to whatever you have for me in my life.

Ponder It:

Are you living your life the way God wants to be lived?

Can you ask God to help you in your every day sin?

Are you going to let the lion, (sin) to get you?


Fulfill It:

Stay in God’s will for your life.

Have God guard you from the lion, (sin).

Ask God to help you in any situation.


Memory Verses:

(James 4:14, “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”(KJV))

(James4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”(KJV))

(Daniel 6:22, “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.”(KJV))
