The LORD is my
light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of
whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 (KJV)
One night I had a lion cub dream. It
was small and cuddly—absolutely adorable. As we romped, it gradually grew,
muscles rippling playfully under his skin. He seemed innocent and cute; it was
inconceivable that as a full grown lion he would weigh several hundred pounds.
Thank You, Lord, we wait in faith KNOWING that You have come
to our rescue and nothing can separate us from you. Amen.

With each pounce he got bigger and stronger,
his claws and sharp teeth began to hurt and made small stinging wounds.
There was nothing fatal at this point, but I began to realize there was great potential
for harm. My playful lion cub was getting harder to manage. I kept trying to
ease toward the door, but he always caught me before I could escape.
Others came and went back out
through the doorway letting in a radiant light each time without offering
assistance or even noticing my predicament. I kept watching the bright doorway
for someone else—someone I knew could save me.
I awoke from my dream without ever
seeing who I was hoping for—my savior from the lion. Pondering the parallel of
the cub and how small sin can quickly grow and overtake us, I wanted to return
to my slumber and the finale. But, in the dim light of dawn, my heart
confidently whispered, you already know.
Indeed I do! Jesus, Savior of the world!
Satan may taunt and inflict wounds, but he can never deliver the fatal blow
that would separate us from our hope and salvation through Jesus Christ.
