Faces of Lions

I Chronicles 12:8 - And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; (KJV)

When we face our everyday battles, do we have "faces like lions?" Have we allowed the Lord to train us for battle, taking up the armor of our God against the enemy? If we are spiritual Gadites, then our hearts no longer melt like wax in the face of trouble. We have learned that the battle is not ours, but the Lord's.

Father, I pray over every one who would receive this short prayer. Make them lions that tear their prey. Give them an uncompromised perspective over the things which would assail them. Allow them the courage to roar mightily, causing their circumstances to bow the knee to God within them. May they command sickness, anxiety, fear, and any other foul thing to come under the rule of God. In Jesus' Name, the Lion of Judah ... Amen!
