Lions rule...but to be honest...I rather be a man of God...someone who seeks God always!

Mike, as usual, you have so eloquently taken scripture and applied it to real life.  You have been given a gift which allows you to put into words and share the thoughts that God reveals to you.  Each and every blog you post speaks to me in some way. 

Hey, speaking of lions, don't forget - satan is like a roaring lion.

Mike, I think we are all lions at one time or another. Hopefully, the more mature we get, the less like lions we get. Not long ago the Lord laid it upon my heart that I needed to trust Him more...a lot more. I have made improvements, but still a long way to go.

Thanks for all you interesting blogs, comments and ongoing support!
Hey...Joe G wrote about lions too!

I'd like to think I am a lion...but more like a lamb...a stinky, stupid sheep. 
I love the analogy and the idea for the camp-side devotion.

I love seeing how people apply scripture to there dayly life after all I think I'm supposed to be a doer of the word, not just a hearer.  Unfortunately being single when I have a family devotional my dog kind of looks at me like I'm off my rocker.

Thanks for your comments!! (and stars!) Kristie, I feel unworthy, thank you sis. (Love the penguin -- it is a baby penguin, right?)

Angie, in some ways I suppose we should strive to be lions - in the area of courage and fearlessness, given that God's strength is behind us. Though Jesus is the Lamb, and for the most part acted like one by being gentle, nurturing, etc.

Thanks Patrick! Always great to hear from you!! Jay, that's a real compliment coming from you. Diana, thank you...and I hope you're citing those "reprints". :-)

Dave, that's b/c you are off your rocker, no doubt about that! But I love ya and am continuing to pray for you. Pray for me too please! Often it's easier to write what God puts on my heart than to live it!!

Hey Mike!  Good insights, as usual. :)

I thought it was an interesting thought (and it reminded me of some things)....take a look here at Blue Letter Bible online (can also be accessed at www.blb.org) to see all the verses where "young lions" are mentioned.  There are some very interesting ones, including the passage from Ezekiel 38 (a prophetic passage) that many believe is a reference to the peoples and nations which have been born out of England ("Tarshish" is thought to be an old name reference to England), which would of course include the "good ol' " United States.  Hopefully all the verses will provide you with some very interesting and most edifying study time, especially in light of the commentary you provided on this verse. :)
