Becoming a Lion Chaser. . .yeah! I've been asking for the Lord to fill me with boldness for years and He gives it to me when I need it. Over the years I have felt more like a little mouse, peeking out from a little hole before venturing out.
Yeah, kind of like that.And when I do get my boldness, I'm kind of like this. . .
But after listening to my Sunday School lesson on becoming a lion chaser like David, writing down the characteristics such as these. . .
standing firm
defying the odds
facing fear
reframe the problems
takes risks
seizes opportunities
willing to look foolish
knows that God is bigger than any problem
not afraid to do what looks ridiculous to others because with God anything is possible
learn how to see problems in a new way~God's way
not focusing on what's wrong but what is right with God . . .
there is something better. . . I don't want to be the little mouse anymore, even in the little armor suit. . .
What is it that keeps me from being bold at times? Fear and insecurity, weapons of the enemy. Yes, there have been times I have stepped out of the comfort zones but as the little mouse with the suit on. God was with me but I let the enemy still be on my heels. I leaned into God and took strength from that. But God is behind me, beside me, in front of me, and in me, so there is no need to fear. I don't just need to hide in my God, I can face down the enemy with my God, and this is how that will look. . .
Oh yeah! That's gonna be me! To the enemy.
I am woman, hear me roar!
My God is with me, off I'll soar!
Do you squeak or do you roar?
If you are still squeakin', let God fill you up so much with Himself, with His Word, that when the enemy comes nippin' at your heels, you can turn around with the boldness of a lion and ROAR in the name of Jesus!
Then you can become a lion chaser, chasing down your own giants. You probably won't need a stone like David, but God will equip you with whatever you need. Rely on Him and stand strong.
ROAR!

Kristin, I am so thankful you found CMB, and led me to Ponderings. I too started writing after a life crisis. How good the Lord is to use the worst of times to draw us close. It is almost miraculous the ways the Lord has used my non-gift of writing to open up opportunities in my life. Each time I am amazed and reminded that He alone deserves all of the glory. So glad to make a new friend today. Looking forward to getting to know you. Blessings,Deb
I LOVE this Kris! I am a woman of God and I want to turn around and roar when satan comes nipping at my hills. Satan goes around "like" a lion, but my God IS a Lion. :)
Many blessings!
I say, "LET'S ROAR!"
This is great! It caught my eye because in my children's book, Animal Sound Mix-up, one of the lines is, "What if a mouse began to roar, would it seem stronger than before?".
