1. Spurgeon, a famous 19th century preacher once looked at the image of the lion in Psalm 57, and gave comfort and advice to those who felt they were among lions:

• If you are among lions, you will have fellowship with Jesus and His church.
• If you are among lions, you will be driven nearer to your God.
• If you are among lions, remember that God has them on a leash.

2. Psalm 57 says that God will 'shelter' us, but what does this mean? Well shelter can come in a number of ways - through someone's help; through a job opportunity; or some words of encouragement. When opportunity comes we need to step forward in faith and take it up, for God works in many different ways.
