From our friends at Lifechurch.tv
This past weekends message focused on the action of Benaiah in 2 Samuel 23:20, “He…went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.” His attack on the fierce feline was not a defensive move, not a necessary protective act. He took the offensive by going into the crater where the vicious animal was trapped and confronting it. His courage is unmistakable. Craig pointed out that often real faith requires actually going after our lions, those God breathed dreams that keep us up at night or cause our hearts to flutter when they pass through our thoughts. Perhaps it’s a new stirring, or have you carried it around in obscurity for years? What lion(s) do you feel you need to be chasing?
Does that beast waiting to be tackled in your life involve career…family…ministry…personal development…relationships…education?
We thought it would be both fun and challenging for us as an online community to encourage each other on our journeys toward unstoppable courage. For some, this may prove to be the first time you’ve ever revealed that unshakeable burden. Or you might have already tried to share your hunting tales with countless others. Either way, we want to be a part of your story. Are you still unsure which lion you should be pursuing, is your vision less than 20/20? That’s ok, feel free to disclose that as well.
May the courageous inspirations and prayers written out here represent future destinies fulfilled and lives changed! Go to our CATF Facebook page and share your thoughts and prayers.
