LARRY JONES OUTREACH
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1st Peter 5:8 nkjv
It has been said that a lion's roar will literally shake the ground and cause such fear that the creatures nearby will leave their secure hiding places, and flee out into the open, where he then devours them!
Renowned archer Howard Hill once had such an encounter, near his hunting camp in Africa. Alone, just a short way from camp, and armed only with a longbow (similar to that used by the legendary Robin Hood). Hill said the ground shook from the roar of the lion just before he charged. Hill's first arrow went into the lion's chest, the lion jumped into the air and broke the arrow off with his paw, roaring again. The second arrow hit the lion in the side, and it leaped toward him. Hill said the third arrow went through the lion's left eye. as he jumped sideways to avoid the lion's body landing on top of him. Hill said he had no memory of how he made the third shot and gave full credit to GOD!!!
Now Howard Hill was a famous archer who had practiced shooting almost all of his life, the average hunter would have been devoured on the spot! Let us not be like the average christian. Only praying and reading their bible the infrequent times that they go to church.
Practice pays off when the lion comes around, and make no mistake
he will come around. Daily bible reading and prayer, going to church on a regular basis, these are the things that count in these perilious times we are living in. And remember, when you've given it your best shot, GOD will be there right on time to guide you to victory.
