Our devouring lion may be illness;death;the loss of a child,or anything that will take us away from our devotion to the Lord.For me,I think my "Lion" was the loss of my son in 1995, and my brain hemorrage in 1996.God was with me in the furnace and in the lion's den, as I faced the loss of David junior, and faced 2 months in a coma....."Yea tho I walk in the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me......" Yes, He certainly did comfort me!
When the devil comes around, seeking whom to devour,you can be sure God will be right there with you,protecting you from the intense heat, and walking with you through it, so you don't get eaten alive!
Praise be to God!
