One of the many stories from my hometown is about two old-timers who went to camp deep in the forest. During the night, they were awakened by the terrible growl of a black bear in the distance. One turned to the other and said, “How many shells do you have for the rifle?” with a trembling voice and in a whisper his companion replied, “Only six.”
When one is confronted by terror, it just seems like there is never enough protection. There’s a verse about misjudging situations and making them more than what reality reveals.
The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”
He was wrong and only making up a story. Do you fabricate lions sometimes?
Think about it.
