AATHAVAN – Wednesday, 20 August 2025
"Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver." (Psalm 7:2, KJV)
The Bible compares Satan, the enemy who seeks to seize and destroy the soul, to both a lion and a serpent. Having lost the glory of heaven, Satan is determined that man should never inherit it. Therefore, he tempts people into sin and seeks to drag them straight into hell.
This is why the Apostle Peter warns us: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8, KJV)
Thus, the Psalmist in today’s verse pleads with God, saying: “Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.” Only by God’s power can we overcome Satan. Indeed, the Word promises: “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.” (Psalm 91:13, KJV)
Hence, it is vital for us to stay watchful. By human effort alone, we cannot withstand Satan. We need the strength of the Holy Spirit. As it is written: “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” (Isaiah 59:19, KJV) Therefore, we must continually pray for the strength of the Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Christ, can lead us into complete deliverance from sin.
When we receive forgiveness of sins, Christ dwells in us through the Spirit. “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.” (Romans 8:10, KJV) When our spirit is alive unto righteousness, Satan cannot prevail over us.
As we pray, “Lest he tear my soul like a lion…”, let us not forget that we have a Deliverer in Christ. If we invite Him into our hearts, He will protect our soul from the deceit of the devil.
