Go after the DREAM! Chase the Lion!

“In every dream journey, there comes a moment when you have to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. You have to go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. You have to go big or go home.” 

What a way to start this Sunday morning! 

This is an excerpt from Mark Batterson’s book “Chase the Lion” that I’m reading on my YouVersion Bible app (love it!)

He shares a story from the Bible where the script gets flipped– instead of a lion chasing a guy, this guy Benaiah chases a lion … into a pit on a snowy day … and wins!


It’s a challenge I’m taking personally to make sure I’m not letting “big dreams” intimidate me or paralyze me into doing nothing (like what would happen if we ever had a stare down with a lion in the wild.)

Would I have the guts to chase the lion?


To be honest, I don’t know that I would. But I’m learning that I’m not alone in the chase.

“If God is for me, who could be against me?”

Let’s go chase the lion today!

And you can check out the Bible app & read the whole devotional here.

Laughing (and chasing lions) thru life,
