The Only Safe Place to Live

Did you know that a well intentioned life will be met with ill will intentioned dragons? All that is meant by that statement is that when good is present evil is lurking close by. And if we are not very careful we can be consumed by the heat of the fire breathing dragon. The attention we give and the anxiety will feel feeds the dragon.

A dragon looks to kill and destroy. When it opens its mouth, the intensity of the heat sets on fire everything in its path. To be quite honest, a dragon really can't help it. It is a fire breathing monster. Because it is a dragon it breaths fire.

And so it is with an angry man. Proverbs 29:22 says, "An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression." An angry man is like a dragon. He opens his mouth and stirs strife and brings destruction. He really doesn't give much thought as to the destruction that might take place. The angry man just stirs strife.

The dragon's breath does much more than destroy just that which is in its path. The heat is far reaching. It altars the landscape all around the path. So does the angry man. He doesn't just destroy one person; he altars the landscape well beyond a single person.

Truth be told the dragon is much better off just keeping his mouth shut...I imagine that could also be said about the angry man. But we know they won't. Fire breathing dragons will always be fire breathing dragons. Angry men will always stir up strife.

So where shall a man live among the fire breathing dragons of this world? Is there a safe place of rescue from an angry man who creates strife? Yes! Proverbs 29:25 says, "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." There is safety among the dragons.
