Lion Chasers

In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day
a Book by By: Mark Batterson

The author describes how…
Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is inspired by one of the most obscure yet courageous acts recorded in Scripture, a blessed and audacious act that left no regrets: "Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it" (2 Samuel 23:20 -21). Unleash the lion chaser within!

Many of us are scared to venture out to the unknown of taking risks and starting your own business working from home. We have fears such as “what if I fail” “what if I lose tons of money” “what if I DO become successful” because for some being successful frightens them just as much as failing.

The book is an excellent book for the fact you do not find to many lion chasers these days. Most people think someone is crazy for how Benaiah actually chased the lion into the pit and killed the lion with his bare hands. But he beat the odds and won!

So my challenge to you is to get out there and face your fears and take that chance to be successful in life!

Look at all the opportunities that God has in store for you. For what if the Life you really want and the future God wants for you, is hiding right now in your biggest problem, your worse failure….Your greatest Fear?
