“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” – Proverbs 28:1 (KJV)
Courage is a defining trait of those who walk in righteousness. The Bible tells us that the righteous are bold as a lion, while the wicked live in fear. This boldness is not arrogance or recklessness. Instead, it is a confidence that comes from knowing that God is with us.
A lion is fearless, standing firm in the face of danger. Likewise, as children of God, we do not have to be afraid. When we live in righteousness, we stand on God’s promises. We walk with authority, knowing that He goes before us. Fear may try to creep in, but the Spirit of God within us gives us strength.
Throughout Scripture, we see examples of boldness in righteousness. David faced Goliath with unwavering faith. Daniel stood firm in his convictions despite the threat of the lion’s den. The apostles preached Christ boldly, even in the face of persecution. Their confidence came from their righteousness in God, not their own strength.
As believers, we are called to be bold as a lion in our daily lives. Whether sharing the gospel, making godly decisions, or standing against injustice, we should not shrink back. Righteousness gives us the courage to walk in faith and trust God’s power. Even when challenges arise, we can face them with boldness, knowing that God fights for us.
