In
my recent meditations in the Psalms, I discovered that the greatest danger in
life for the songwriter, were not wild animals, (for David the shepherd faced
many of these), the real dangers were people! David the songwriter faced lions
and bears, but it was the cruel persecutors, the betrayers, the
misunderstanding relatives, the jealous enemies that wanted to kill him – these
were the repeated subject of his prayers.
So
it is today- the danger is not wild animals, it is rather the addictive screens
(designed by people to seduce), the self centred friend (manipulative instead
of loyal), the God despising relative (who turns others away from God's way),
the Lord Jesus denying religion (people promoting other doctrines) etc. These
are the real dangers that we so often fail to see.
