The real lion's den

1/28/2019

0 Comments

 
We all know how the story of Daniel in the lions’ den ends, right? Yes, Daniel does get thrown in the lions' den but God protects him. But can I suggest to you that the real lions' den that Daniel faced was not in that pit surrounded by those 4-legged kings of the jungle? The real lions' den that Daniel faced was his prayer room. 1 Peter 5:8 commands us to be on the alert because our adversary, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Folks, listen, you live in the lions' den. You're in it every day. And there is an adversary who, like a roaring lion, wants to devour you. He wants to devour your marriage. He wants to devour your children. He wants to devour your reputation. He wants to devour your church. The real lions' den is where we live. There's only one way to defeat the lion according to Ephesians 6:18 which says that with all prayer and petition we are to pray, being on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. Why be alert? Because the devil, like a lion, wants to devour you. Be on alert because you live in the lions' den. That's why we need to pray.
