Larry's Lions
The Bible tells us that Satan is the master of deception. He makes poisons taste delicious and
even lets some people make healthy food taste terrible! He makes truth look like error, and error
look like truth, and now the whole world is confused.
His offer of satisfaction through worldly success, thousands of social media followers, or the
ability to earn or travel more than your friends is nothing more than a cruel counterfeit for the
true peace and true satisfaction that Jesus offers.
The story is told of two men, Larry and Bill, who lost their jobs and couldn’t find any work. Bill
saw an advertisement from a zoo paying $5,000 per captured lion. It was a dangerous career
indeed, but they decided to try and capture some wild lions.
Off they went into lion country with an innocent lamb, a homemade cage, and a computer
spreadsheet showing all their financial goals. As they scrambled across a rocky ledge, it broke,
and they slid down into a steep-walled pit full of hungry lions. Larry quickly assessed their
situation and cried out, “Bill, we’re rich! We’re rich!”
Don’t be deceived. Satan “prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1
Peter 5:8, NLT).
Appeal
As we think about God’s protection and the blessings that He so bountifully
gives us, may it inspire us to be faithful in returning His tithe and giving our
Promise offerings to Him. And may we always seek and find the true
satisfaction that only God can provide us with. Thank you for your faithful
giving today.
