From Steve’s Library 7/17/2006

Several years ago, numerous sheep ranchers in a section of Montana were losing sheep at an incredible rate to marauding coyotes. One woman lost 50 lambs, nearly one per week, to the relentless predators. Nothing worked, until she got a llama. Llamas are strange-looking animals with a warrior mentality. Llamas don’t appear to be afraid of anything. When they see something they don’t understand, they put their head straight up and walk towards it. The coyotes couldn’t handle the llama’s courage and finally left the sheep alone.

We Christians, of all men, should be able to stand tall, because, although we don’t know the future, we do know who holds the future.  That’s why we can lift our heads and walk straight into it.  The Lord Jesus has got us covered.
