Grizzly

“...the Lord will fight for you" (Exodus 14:14).

Greetings,

There’s a scene in the movie The Bear where a little bear cub stands up on his back legs and tries to scare off a menacing cougar with his baby roar.  It’s a valient effort, but ineffective.  Suddenly, however, a much bigger and powerful roar frightens off the cougar.  The little cub turns around and sees his friend - a massive, full-grown, fearless grizzly – towering over him in a protective stance.  Since I am one of those people who whoops and hollers and claps in the movies, I cheered loudly and unapologetically during this compelling moment.  So did a lot of other people.   That’ll teach that cougar to watch out who he messes with!

  

We all have a “Grizzly” who fights for us too, a big and powerful Force Who has our backs.  He hears our puny roars and rushes to tower over us causing any enemy to retreat.    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You that You fight for us.  We aren’t nearly strong enough to live life on our own.  And we are not powerful enough to confront every problem and threat we face.  You are, and we are grateful You are willing to stand up for us.  Whether it’s financial, relationship, emotional, vocational, or physical struggles, they are no match for You.  We invite You to send a mighty roar and bring us victory.  In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
