Tales From The Lion King

The Lord speaks to me in very mysterious ways. One morning I woke up with the song "The Circle of Life" stuck in my head. I couldn't shake it all morning and it finally dawned on me that the Lord wanted to speak to me through "The Lion King." What an unconventional way for God to speak, I mean it can't be God right? Wrong. The Lord will use anything to speak to you, even a Disney movie. The next day I finally watched the movie and I was almost in tears throughout the entire film. I was overwhelmed with a revelation of the Father's love for His bride.
One scene in particular grabbed my attention the most. In this scene, Simba, the small child of Moffasa, runs off into the dark trenches of the land... A place he was told never to go to. Well he obviously ran into some trouble. A group of hyennas cornered Simba and they began to mock him. Simba, being the young lion that he is, gained enough courage to let out a roar. The only problem was that he was little and the noise simply made his adversaries laugh all the more. They ridiculed him and told him to try it again. Simba opened his frightened mouth, but this time his father let out a roar that literally shook the mountainside. The hyennas ran off, discombobulated and scared out of their wits. Simba and his father reunited and the story continued.
The Lord pressed this scene on my heart very distinctly. He told me that we as Christians are like Simba, when trouble comes, the only thing we have to give it is some wimpy little rawr without realizing that we have a Father who is backing us up. We attmept to evade trouble on our own accord, and most of the time, we will get burnt. If we will begin to recognize who it is that we belong to and realize that whenever trouble does come our way, we serve the king of the universe and all he has to do is say a word, and all the demons of hell go scattering to the uttermost parts of the globe. Just rely on the Lord one-hundred percent, and He will be there every time to back you up!
