Fearless Like a Lion: Living Boldly Through Righteousnes

-


 

“The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” – Proverbs 28:1



This verse paints a powerful contrast between the life of the wicked and the life of the righteous. The wicked, even when no danger is present, live in constant fear. Guilt, shame, and hidden sins create an inner restlessness that makes them run from shadows that do not even exist. Their conscience becomes their greatest pursuer.


But the righteous—the ones who walk with God—live with courage and confidence. The imagery of a lion is intentional: a lion is fearless, standing strong in its territory, not easily shaken by opposition. In the same way, when our lives are aligned with God’s truth, we don’t have to live in fear of what people think, of tomorrow, or of the unknown. Righteousness gives us holy boldness.


This boldness does not come from ourselves but from God’s presence within us. It’s the assurance that He is our protector, our guide, and our strength. Even in the face of trials, the righteous can stand firm, not because life is easy, but because God is faithful.


The verse challenges us to examine our own walk. Are we living with hidden guilt and fear, or are we walking in the freedom and courage that righteousness brings? God invites us to live boldly—not recklessly, but faithfully—trusting that He has equipped us to stand strong like lions in a world full of uncertainty.

🙏 Short Prayer


Lord, make me bold in You. Take away fear and guilt from my heart, and fill me with the courage that comes from walking in Your righteousness. Amen.

Verse Of The Day - ISAIAH 43:16-19

A Reflection on Isaiah 43:16-19 Life often brings us to places where we feel trapped—situations that seem impossible, challenges that appear too great to overcome. In these moments, doubt can creep in, and we may wonder if there’s any way forward. But Isaiah 43:16-19 reminds us that God is a way-maker, a miracle-worker who specializes in doing the impossible. This passage begins by recalling God's mighty work in delivering Israel through the Red Sea. When the Israelites stood before the waters with the Egyptian army closing in behind them, they saw no escape. But God made a way where there was no way—He parted the sea, allowing them to cross on dry ground. Then, God shifts our focus:  “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”  (v. 18-19). While it’s important to remember God’s faithfulness in the past, He calls us to look forward. He is always at work, bringing fresh provision, new opportunities, and unexpected solutions. Even in the wi...

Verse Of The Day - PSALM 34:10

-
Image
  The Righteous Lack No Good Thing Psalm 34:10 There’s a deep, quiet confidence that comes from reading these words:  “The righteous lack no good thing.”  It’s a simple statement, but it holds a world of meaning about the character of God and the life He calls us to live. At first glance, it may seem hard to believe. Life often feels full of lack — unmet dreams, unanswered prayers, unfulfilled needs. We all walk through seasons where what we desire most feels just out of reach. But Psalm 34:10 gently reminds us that when we walk closely with God, He ensures we lack  no good thing. Notice the phrase carefully:  good thing.  God, in His wisdom, knows what is truly good for us — not just what looks good, feels good, or seems good in the moment. He sees the bigger picture we cannot see. Sometimes the things we think we desperately need are the very things He lovingly withholds for our protection, growth, or preparation. His definition of “good” is shaped by His...

Verse Of The Day - JERMIAH 33:3

  Call to Me, and I Will Answer You Jeremiah 33:3 is one of the most powerful invitations in the Bible: "Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." These words were spoken by God to the prophet Jeremiah while he was imprisoned. At a time when Judah was facing destruction and Jeremiah’s own future looked uncertain, God extended an invitation—not just to speak, but to call upon Him with confidence. This verse reveals God’s heart for His people. He does not desire for us to walk in confusion, doubt, or fear. Instead, He wants us to come to Him, to ask, and to expect Him to respond in ways beyond our understanding. God’s Promise to Answer Notice that God doesn’t say,  "Call to me, and I might answer you."  He says,  "I will answer you."  This is a guarantee. When we sincerely seek God in prayer, He hears us. Sometimes, the answer is immediate. Other times, it unfolds over time. But He always answers—whether...

Verse Of The Day - LUKE 16:10

  Reflection on Luke 16:10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much."  — Luke 16:10 We often pray for greater blessing —more opportunities, bigger breakthroughs, and increased influence. But Jesus teaches us that  how we handle the small things in life determines whether we are ready for greater things.  Think about a gardener. If he is faithful in watering and caring for a small plant, over time, it will grow into something strong and fruitful. But if he neglects the small plant, how can he expect to manage a large garden?  The same is true in our spiritual lives. God watches how we handle the small blessings He gives us—our time, talents, finances, relationships, and responsibilities. If we are faithful, honest, and diligent with what we have now,  God can trust us with more. How Can We Apply This Verse? Be faithful in small responsibilities.  Wh...
