Do you know that lions are the King of the jungle?
That the lion has been given all rights to the domain in which it lives?
Did you also know, that the mighty lion is a constant target by jackals and hyenas?
That jackals and hyenas consistently harass the lion in its element.
These gang like predators, encircle the lion as it stands alone, seeing it as defenseless because there are no other lions in sight.
The intention of these hyenas is to take down the lion and kill it.
Hyenas desire nothing more than to destroy the majestic creature and pounce on it. Doing so in a gang like fashion.
Why?
Because the hyena is weak on its own.
Hey, did you also know, that a hyena is one of the smallest mammals in its class? That it is one of the least of the critters in its size.
This is why hyenas hunt that which is mightier than them, in packs.
I also found it interesting that in some cultures, hyenas are thought to influence people’s spirits. Which didn’t surprise me at all.
Because hocus pocus ideology is always attached to the lesser of Spiritual species.
Now, how about the jackals?
It seems as though Jackals are opportunistic predators. These animals are not normally dangerous, however, they also hunt in packs as well.
Fact:
Jackals are still known to attack humans.
In saying that, hyenas and their fellow wildlife, come in with their nasty, and often times vile dispositions, to encircle the lone lion. They attempt to intimidate but are never successful.
The lion is a protective and majestic creature, whose main goal is to stand guard, and only fight when necessary. The lion loves life and enjoys the wild.
While always minding their own business.
The lion often stands alone with courage and valor, a peaceful powerhouse, unless otherwise provoked.
The lion is only out to protect the terrain of its pride and those the lion loves.
While the small, yet loud hyenas, sneak up in attempts to kill it. The hyenas taunt the lion, by scurrying up behind it, and cackling mercilessly, then, they run and hide.
Why?
Because they know that the lion, can, and will, rip these tiny animals to shreds if need be.
However, the lion stands its ground with boldness and authority. The lion only fends off the attacks to protect itself, and the pride that is far off in the distance.
This majestic creature never intends to hurt those who are out to attack it. However, the lion will do what needs to be done if they refuse to fall back.
It is easy for the lion to intimidate these little guys. All they have to do is open their mouth, and then, the hyenas run and hide.
They take shelter in places unseen. To later come back and taunt some more.
The lion has a great sense of smell and a keen sense of knowing what is lurking in the dark.
The lion is not foolish. The King of the jungle sees what is unseen.
A lion will only go after what it is hungry for. However, when the lion is well-fed, it lays back and enjoys the beauty of the wildlife.
The lion is known for its power and might. It knows of its royal presence in the jungle.
Also in the Kingdom!
I believe the message is clear. However, if it is not—allow me to broaden the Spiritual horizon of some.
Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 30:30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any.
God Bless You, Church—stand guard.
