BOLDNESS OF A LION
King Solomon highlights the different states of mind between those who live unrighteously and those who walk in righteousness.
The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1
People who engage in immoral or sinful behavior often experience a sense of fear and paranoia. Their guilty conscience or anticipation of consequences leads them to be in a perpetual state of anxiety, causing them to flee from imaginary threats.
In contrast, the righteous are bold as a lion, portraying the confidence and fearlessness of those who live righteously. A clear conscience, rooted in moral integrity and alignment with the Word of God, fosters inner peace and courage. This boldness is not an empty facade but a reflection of their identity as children of God. It stems from the understanding that the love of God is unwavering and not contingent on us being perfect and not making mistakes.
Living in alignment with the Word of God and maintaining a clear conscience contribute to a sense of security and boldness. Embracing this righteousness involves more than just avoiding wrongdoing; it requires actively pursuing a life of integrity and aligning our actions with the Bible. This alignment fosters a sense of peace and confidence, enabling us to face any challenges with the courage and strength symbolized by a lion.
By choosing a path of righteousness and aligning yourself with the Word of God, you can experience the boldness and assurance that only comes from a close relationship with God.
Heavenly Father, I make a commitment today to renew my heart and commit to the path of aligning myself with Your Word. I desire the boldness and assurance that only comes from You. I desire to be a follower of Jesus in all I say, do, and live out to show others Your love. Thank You for the strength to fulfill this desire. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
