Where The Grass Grows

So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him. Judges 14:5

Surprise! A lion comes to rend and tear and devour. But, this prey is no ordinary prey and the Lord is with him. In this story we understand how a predator is dependent on the prey to be weaker, slower, less crafty, or something lesser that allows the predator to overcome and devour. One might imagine that the nightmares of predators involve herds that all become faster or never come close enough to catch. Then there is that performance anxiety one, the one where the predator leaps and the prey is completely unaffected as the claws and teeth will not penetrate. Maybe predators on the Serengeti have that dream where they leap and find that they have left their britches behind and all the antelope are laughing at them. The grass eaters can go wherever the grass grows, but the predators must follow or starve. And the predators are the ones we tend to admire?

Praise God that we can be the sheep of the Good Shepherd. We will follow Him to the green pastures!

Have a great snowy day in Christ the Lord!
