Have the Boldness of
Lions!

“Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness,
mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear,
whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the
mountains:” 1 Chronicles 12: 8
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means
hurt you.” Luke 10:19
As we
continue our study of the men who followed David, let's look at their boldness -- the boldness of
lions!
We also need this boldness in the face of the enemy who is "like
a lion," himself... a roaring lion.
While
it is true that the devil received a fatal wound at Calvary, he is still
roaming, dangerous, and seeking whom he may devour.
We need to stand bold as a lion against him, for we have the "lion
of Judah" [Revelation 5:5] as our Captain, ready to defend us.
And
greater is He that is in us than he that
is in the world.
David's
mighty men were gifted and fearless warriors. They also had a powerful and
courageous leader whose righteousness, faith, and humility, were a great
inspiration.
A
strong, courageous and righteous leader will bring out the best in his
followers. David's men of valor were bold as lions and swift as gazelles.
But our
Captain Yeshua (Jesus), is the most courageous, humble, and righteous leader
who ever existed, and his power is ultimate.
He has
given us to partake of these qualities, and when we do, we can walk in
authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and triumph over all the power
of the enemy.
The
mighty men of David present a great example for us in our spiritual warfare.
They
must have been fearsome to the enemies of Israel.
Following
Yeshua closely, we also will cause the enemies of God to tremble and
flee.
Bold
in Him, we will be invincible -- bold as lions and swift as gazelles!
