‘There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!’ (Proverbs 26:13). This, Lord, is the voice of fear speaking. Give to us the voice of faith
– ‘I believed, and so I spoke’ (2 Corinthians 4:13). When ‘the devil
prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour’,
he can fill us with fear. Help us not to not let him do this. Help us
to face him with faith – ‘Resist him, standing firm in the faith’ (1
Peter 5:8-9). When we ‘resist the devil’, standing firm in the faith,
‘he will flee from us’ (James 4:7). Help us, Lord, Let us face the
‘roaring lion’ with faith in an even more powerful ‘Lion’. Jesus Christ –
‘the Lion of Judah’ – ‘has conquered’ Satan. He ‘has triumphed’ over
him (Revelation 5:5). May Christ’s ‘perfect love drive out our fear’ (1
John 4:18).
