Lions and Bears

Here David was being groomed in the back side of the desert. Believe me, dear ones, you are being groomed at this time, wherever your station is in life. Wherever the bears and lions come from and try to attack, like they did the sheep David was shepherding.

I believe David was a praying boy. Probably learned from his father, Jesse, and his mother. I pray to God that we too would be the examples to our children and grandchildren.

I believe David was one, as he sat on the back side of the desert. He looked up and saw the moon and the clouds and went back and read the words of Moses and pondered those words. Knew that there was a God in heaven. As a little boy, I believe his faith started growing. He was out there probably alone many times and, as David made mention here, one time a bear came after the sheep. He gave God the credit: "He helped me to kill the bear." Another time a lion came. One place it says, he even took the lion and pulled part of the lion's beard out and he killed the lion too that came to destroy his sheep.

Are you keeping track of the times that you've killed your lions and bears? You should. If you don't, you will not be ready for the battle because you are not remembering what the Lord did for you in the past.
