1st Peter asks us to look into our hearts and find courage. What do you do when a lion prowls your village looking to eat your young? Do you feed them from your table? No. What do you do when a lion prowls your village, dripping with the blood of your neighbors? Do you let him sleep in your bed? Do you follow him blindly? Do you long to be like him, hoping that one day you two can be the king of your own jungle? If we are not vigilant, that lion will destroy everything we love. If we are not upright shepherds of our flock, that beast will not stop until all of our young are ripped out. If we don't cast that devil out of our city, he will devour us all. And I just pray that he doesn't come for your house next.
