27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit,[a] striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.
ROAR!…
YAWN.
The lamb in this picture is not cocky. He just refuses to give the roar the last word.
1 Peter 5:8 is the matching postcard: the devil prowls like a roaring lion. The roar is real. It is also a tactic. Noise is not the same as victory.
Stand together with others firm in the Gospel of Jesus. This is where we find victory over any lions.
What roar have you learned to yawn at — and what roar still worries you? Tell us below.
