“The righteous are bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1

�� SCRIPTURE READING
“The righteous are bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1
“God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
��️ MEDITATION
The lion is not the loudest animal, but it is one of the most respected in creation. Its presence alone commands attention. In the same way, God calls His children to walk in spiritual boldness, not fear, intimidation, or insecurity.
Boldness is not arrogance. It is confidence in God’s presence and truth.
Many believers are spiritually gifted but emotionally timid. They pray but hesitate. They believe but doubt themselves. They have authority in Christ but live like victims of life.
God is calling you into a “lion spirit”—a life of confidence rooted in His Word.
Consider David. As a young shepherd, he faced lions and bears in the wilderness.
These encounters prepared him for greater battles. When he later faced Goliath, he did not speak as a victim but as one who knew God’s power.
