For
thus the Lord has spoken to me: "As
a lion roars, and a young
lion over his prey (When a multitude of
shepherds is summoned against
him, He will not be afraid of their voice nor be
disturbed by their
noise), So the Lord of hosts will come down to
fight for Mount Zion and
for its hill."
REFLECTION:
Last week we looked at a mountain as being a dwelling place for God
as well as seeing His strength and beauty within
a mountain. Today we
look at His strength and a mountain as symbolic
of God's protection.
God is not afraid and we should not be afraid
either. If we have
accepted Jesus as our Savior and live our life
for Him He will see to it
that we are protected regardless of what happens to us. Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he
may
devour but God has already defeated satan so He
is not afraid. We
should seek shelter in the protection of the
mountain that is God and
know that He protects His flock from that
lion. During these times of
a turbulent economy, threats of wars and persecution of the church we need to put our
faith and trust in God
and not fear for our lives. He did not give us a spirit of fear. We must know that our life is in God's
hands and He will protect us. However we also must take solace in
knowing that if we were to die that we would be certain
of our destination? Do you know where you will go if you die? Will you go to the Mountain of God or the valley of death? If
you truly are seeking God's mountain of
protection then He will either
protect you or bring you home.
