The second page of the children’s book, Be ~ Biblical Wisdom for Children talks about
\nbeing alert. The scripture reference is in 1 Corinthians.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As Christians, we are admonished to be on our guard and to stand firm in the faith. We
\nare to be courageous and strong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you feel you are on your guard? Do you stand firm in the faith? I feel like many simple
\nconcepts are not that simple when I think about them further. Many times I do not feel
\ncourageous or strong. I feel I am always “on guard,” and it can be draining. I remind
\nmyself life is for more than what we see with our human eyes. We are here for a
\npurpose, and many people don’t finish the good race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I used the lion as a visual representation to this passage because a lion is rarely out of tune
\nwith its environment. The stance of this lioness is strong. She represents how I want my
\nchildren, and myself, to stand and watch events in life. She looks courageous, and she is
\nstrong…I also remind them she isn’t lazy.<\/p>\n

Animals can be great illustrations for humans. What does a lioness mean to you? Share your comments below.<\/p>\n
