Sermons About Devour
Lunch for a Lion
The lion is one of the most fearsome animals in the animal world. It looks majestic and regal, and is called “The King of the Jungle.” It moves smoothly and quietly, often hiding until the right time to attack. He is sly and sneaky. Yet the lion is a raging beast, ready to devour other animals to fill its own belly. It is not content with merely harming other animals. It wants to destroy them, to devour them, to leave nothing behind. From behind the safety glass at the zoo, the lion looks impressive. In the wild, the lion is to be feared, to be avoided. This feared lion is the animal that God uses to teach us about the horrible and deadly desire that Satan has for us. Satan is our great adversary, who is like a lion, desiring to devour our souls. He promises safety and satisfaction, but at the end, he becomes the devourer of our soul. He leaves a pile of bones behind. Today, as we look at God’s warning about Satan, listen with an open mind, examining your life for the unguarded areas where Satan might attack and destroy you
