Young Lions and Tall Trees

“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.” Psalm34:10

We have to be careful not to  look at others thinking how great they have it, everything falls their direction and they never seem to be in need.  The outward appearance is deceitful, it can paint a faded picture of the actual facts. “The young lions do lack”

The young lions, those that seem to have strength we can only hope for, may appear to us as having an easy way in life but they like all others are born in this world and suffer need.  They hunger for bread and water and won’t find relief in any other place other than  JESUS, “The Bread of Life” and THE LIVING WATER” “and suffer hunger”

Whether we are rich or poor, happy or sad, sick or healthy, proud or humble, none of us will be complete in this life or the life to come without JESUS.  It is CHRIST that makes all things well. “they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.”

I saw a tree, large and high,

To the eye it was so grand.

Better than the other trees,

In the wood it took it’s stand.

Little trees were all around,

Envied as they looked up.

Even did the blade of grass,

And also the buttercup.

One day the wind came strong, 

And blew the tall tree down.

It laid upon the forest ground,

And it’s pride became a frown.

The envy of the others left

It was replaced with sadden face.

They’ed mistaken what life is about.

Even tall trees need GOD’s grace.

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:6-9
