Kinda Need Help Here
A mother and her two children were
enjoying the drive-through lion enclosure at the Longliet Safari and Adventure
Park in Wiltshire ,
UK in April of 2014 in
their minivan. The several adult lions were leisurely lying in the grass nearby,
watching the parade of vehicles filled with people of all sizes and ages.
The family stopped to view the
lions, when what looked to be steam began coming out from under the hood. Soon the color changed darker and they new it
was fire. They were stranded in the lion's
domain. Worse than that, the flames began engulfing the engine compartment,
which would ultimately force them out of the vehicle as it spread. They had no
way to call for help because the daughter had forgotten her cell phone. Should
they stay and burn or get out and face the lions? They kinda needed help.
Other vehicles stopped, but no
one offered to rescue them. The people
just watched or got out their cameras. Perhaps someone called for help because
the rangers arrived on the scene and rescued the people from their terrible
choice.
At times, I think about the
predicament I was in before I trusted Christ as my Savior. I faced the flames of hell when I died. Plus,
I live in the lion's domain (Be sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour. 1Peter 5:8
). I cried out to God,
"I kinda need help here!"
People were praying for me and
God answered their prayers. He sent help
and I accepted it. I am saved from the fire. Still, I have to watch out for the
lions. So, I keep in contact with my
Father when the lion (devil) gets too threatening.
"My soul is among
lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose
teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword." Psalm
57:4.
