The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly is as bold as lions.
-Proverbs 28:1 (NLT)
AS BOLD AS LIONS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who are wicked are usually fearful people
They don’t realize their actions create ripples
Evil doers run away when no one is chasing them
They continually control, lash and blame.
The godly are as bold as lions
They are full of good intentions
They have no fear; they live in love
They praise the only God up above.

I know someone who lived his life in fear. I was very close to this person and has witnessed his wickedness to many people. He uses his charm to win other people’s trust. Then he invests time so that they will believe that he is faithful and good to them. After he has gotten what he targeted to get from someone, he finally shows his true color. Those who are wise can see through him, but those who are naïve and foolish, become his victims. I have seen his cowardice. Because of all the bad things he did to others, he had no peace. He was constantly paranoid and insecure but covered it up by his anger and controlling nature. The bible tells us that the wicked are cowards but the godly are as bold and courageous as lions.
PRAYER
Lord, make me as bold as the lion.
REFLECTION
What was the boldest thing you did for God?
