The Lion That Walked Around Me

It happened early one morning, just before I woke up. I’m still not entirely sure if it was a dream or a vision, but it felt so vivid almost as if I were standing right there. In the stillness, I saw myself standing, quietly aware of my surroundings. And then, out of nowhere, a lion appeared a strong, magnificent male lion. He wasn’t far from me. He was walking slowly around me, calm and sure of himself. For a moment, I just stood there, watching him. I didn’t feel afraid, which surprised me. Instead, I felt an incredible sense of peace and wonder. The lion’s presence was powerful, yet it carried a strange gentleness, almost as if he was guarding me. When I woke up, the image stayed with me. I kept thinking about it the lion walking around me; and what it might mean. My thoughts went straight to Revelation 5:5, where Jesus is called “the Lion of the tribe of Judah.” The more I reflected on it, the more it felt like a message of protection and strength. I believe the Lord was reminding me that He is near surrounding me, watching over me, and giving me courage to stand firm, no matter what comes my way. Sometimes God speaks in ways we don’t expect: in dreams, visions, or those moments between sleep and waking. I don’t always understand them right away, but I know He has a reason for every encounter. This one reminded me that I don’t walk alone. The Lion of Judah is close, mighty and majestic, and His presence brings peace to my heart. Father God, my heart is full of joy knowing You are with me, the mighty Lion of Judah. Because You surround me, I can release my worries and face each new day with courage. I ask for Your help to always hold this truth close to my heart: that I have You. Thank you, Lord, my God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
