Live Boldly

Proverbs 28:1 

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: 

but the righteous are bold as a lion."
 

    We must follow in the footsteps of great men and women who had gone before. Abraham, who was willing to leave his homeland for a new unknown place; Moses, who was brave enough to demand that Pharaoh let God’s people go; Mordecai, who refused to bow to Haman; Esther, who was bold enough to approach the king UN-summoned though it could mean her death; Ruth, who had the courage to ask the wealthy widower Boaz to take her as a wife. All of these great biblical figures had courage, lived boldly, and it made all the difference in the world.

    Because of their actions, a new people were formed, a new nation was founded and preserved, and a new family line was formed from which the messiah would come. We all know that those who are wicked are easily frightened because they do not have faith in God. Instead, they live in a scary world where life is vulnerable, random, and devoid of purpose, plan, or meaning. The righteous, on the other hand, know that their lives are in God’s hand. They can live boldly knowing that God has their back.

    In this verse the righteous are compared specifically to a young lion. The young lion is confident because it knows that its father is a full-grown lion, mighty and powerful. Know today that you are a lion or a lioness, son or daughter, of the most mighty King. Live boldly and step out in faith. Where there is trust in God, there is courage, and where there is courage, all things are possible.

Amen!
