Progress?

What is the pride of man?  In his darkened reasoning even he admits that he is once removed from animals.   Yet, because he has learned to chip stone to make tools, he says he is respectable and vitally important.

And if he is once removed from animals, which direction has he removed himself?  Even animals allow one another to thrive.  The spider does not covet all food.  The Lion does not lay claim to what it cannot gain.  Has man been boasting that he is less and worse than animals?  Where is the pride of man?

If man would cast out greed he might equal “animal”.  But to become what man thinks he is requires godly attributes.  But how will that ever happen?  Man’s pride denies his dependence on God.  Truly man without God is merely one step removed from dirt.

The Lion Will Devour.

Take a lesson from the Lion and its prey.

The Lion stalks close, having spotted it’s dinner from afar.  Silently and with the wind in his favor he closes in to dine.  The prey sips lovingly at the water and listens with all its might.  But there is no sound of warning. 

The Lion charges.  And two leaps are taken before the prey notices death approach.  Too late!  Now it is too late. 

The Lion devours without mercy.  There is a hunger which compels his jaws.  And his belly will cease its frantic message.

 

So it will be for those caught unaware.  As they sip from the river of greed and selfishness they will be put upon.  Though they listen with all they have, there will be no hope of escape.  The Lion of Judah will satisfy the judgment of God against all the ungodly.  Why then, would you put off what could happily avoid your certain death?

By His Grace.
