As I was watching the cat vs’ gators video God, gave me an epiphany… That as Christians we should be displaying the same level of fearlessness like the cat had towards the gators. As God, Fearing Christians we should be displaying the same level of fearlessness towards the devil as well any situation that God, allows us to go through.
Even though the cat could have easily been eaten by the gators the cat still didn’t back down let alone show fear in any way… When God, created us he, didn’t include the spirit of fear which is a by-product of the devil himself… Instead God, commands that we put on our armor and stand strong against the devil as well any situation God, allows us to go through while remaining fearless…
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (ESV)
1 John 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (ESV)
Ephesians 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; (ESV)
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (ESV)
2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. (ESV)
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (ESV)
This pic is awsome!!! Inspiring even, i read in a pit with a lion on a snowy day recently and i felt the same after reading this as i do from seeing this epic pic. As christians we should always punch fear in the face and never allow it to show it’s ugly toothless face near us. We need to become bold followers of god, show the enemy that he hath no fury at all and put him back in his weak place!!!!!!!!!!! Hell is for the meak and weak people unwilling to stand and fight, Un sheath their swords, Hold their shield high and charge, Screaming so that the devil urinates on him self and falls crying to his knees and ask s god to have mercy on him! What ever is holding you back from having a truly amsome,deep, passionate and meaningful adult relationship with God dich it, Face your fear, Get up dust your self off and keep moving forward! Build a relationship that is not just one sided do what ever it takes God is worth more than any pain, scaring, stitchs or wound you will have to endure! God will do for you 10 fold what you do for him!!! BRING IT SATIN YOU HAVE NO CHAINS ON ME AND MY FAMILY!!!!! Grow a set and just stand for what you believe
Thank you for sharing Tyler,
We can learn a lot from animals. I think that at times, we as humans think that we have to be doing something remarkable for our lives to be significant, and if we are not we feel as though we are not living up to our full potential. I remember watching my brothers dog sitting on the hillside just sniffing the air and making sure that the yard was a safe place, and I had an epiphany about doing the will of God, realizing that this creature was more in line with God’s will than I was at the time. It was doing what it was created for, and I was running around frantically trying to seem important.
Amen and Amen! Fearless we march on in the Good fight of Faith.
