Lessons from the Lion

THE RIGHTEOUS AMONG MEN The lion is the king of the forest, and from this proud, noble monarch of the animal kingdom we may learn some useful lessons. The lion is destructive when enraged. A single stroke of his paw lays the strongest man in the dust. Satan, in this respect, is a being in the moral world that is compared to the lion. He "goeth about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." Beware of this lion of the soul, for he is more cruel than the lion of the forest.

The lion is bold. His eye never quails, his form never trembles with fear. The "righteous" are said to be as "bold as a lion." Will you also be "bold" in opposing the wrong, and in defending the right? Cowards are detestable. Be lion-like in courage. Learn to say no when necessary. "When sinners entice thee, consent thou not." Be strong and bold. "The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion," Prov, xxviii. 1, BLACKBOARD ILLUSTRATIONS, &c.
