Lion's Rock at Sunset

On Christ the solid rock I stand. - I remember the first time I saw this spot thinking exactly that. How perfect that 2 symbols of Gods sovereignty show up in one (lion and rock)?! - Lions have always been one of my favorite animals. Growing up I wore out the Lion King VHS tape and had over 20 different lions. Low key I slept with a simba stuffed animal I got when I was 2 until high school and my parents still have him at their place😂. - I originally thought lions were just really cool to look at, but as I’ve grown older, I’ve realized there’s so many qualities that lions posses that are things that I want to aspire to have as well. Lions are known for strength, courage, boldness, leadership, and are commonly referred to as Kings of the jungle. Even more recently, I’ve found that those qualities I aspire to have are things that Jesus already is and was referred to as in the Bible. - Jesus is likened to a lion a few times, but there’s 2 specific ones I really like. 1. He’s the lion of Judah basically saying that he is a servant leader. He doesn’t dominate over people but rather encourages and helps everyone be better through self sacrifice. And 2. he’s the lion and the lamb which basically means he has the strength and power of a lion but the humility and gentleness of a lamb. - Whether you call yourself a Christian or not, those 2 aspects are the 2 biggest key factors in a good leader, friend, dad, or person. I believe it was no coincidence that I was attracted to lions from a early age. There’s so much to learn from them and model our lives after. - On Christ the solid rock I stand. I’m curious though, do you have an animal that you specifically take inspiration from? - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • • #hawaii #passionpassport #nakedhawaii #eclectic_shotz #earthfocus #sunset #adventureculture #nature #earthpix #neverstopexploring #stayandwander #travel #awesomeearth #旅行 #sonyalpha #soft_vision #roamtheplanet #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #ourplanetdaily #景色 #travelstoke #自然
