"The enemy is "like" a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." Notice the Word of God says "like"; he has no teeth to devour God's children, but he does a good job keeping us in fear. The Word tells us "fear not!" Why? Because no darkness on the face of this whole earth can overcome a child of God! Why? Because God is with us! When everything looks like it will fall apart, hold on! When everyone seems to be against you, hold on! When those who should know you best are believing concocted lies of those who choose to be used of the enemy, HOLD ON! When it seems that there will be some catastrophic end to whatever it is we are facing, anchor yourself and H...O...L...D O...N!!! As I speak to you, I speak these truths to myself! There is a mighty God, my Father, Our Father, who is holding me/us!!! Don't give up, give in, wallow in self - pity or cower in fear!!! Our Father is faithful and I am a living testimony that He is! He's coming soon! Be encouraged! God bless.

That's a great message & great Truths you shared, Anna. Our eyes need to be turned upward & not sideways or looking back. Our hope, our strength, & our deliverance lies only in the Lord of Glory. Man will fail us, Satan may buffet us, but God is our confidence & joy in all our circumstances because He is our Light, our Strength & the One we worship with all of our being. Looking anywhere else will assuredly bring on doubt & fear. Isaiah 40:31.
