Hyenas & Snakes
Our family started a new book entitled, “The Wanderer In Africa” and there was an illustration that challenged us immensely the other night. The story tells about a young man, David, who leaves the duty of helping his ailing father with the family farm in order to pursue the treasure and adventure of life in London and then eventually Africa (Ha….we’re living a life of adventure)!

After a long day’s work and time sitting on the ground, reflecting on years of waywardness, young David unclasps his hands from prayer and puts his hand down on a large poisonous black snake, which had been concealed in the shadows:

As David listens to the howls of hyenas in the distance, he considers the dangers that face him and draws out this apt observation:
Those sounds (of the hyenas) used to frighten me when I was new to them,” thought David, “and even now they sent a thrill through me which was something like fear. I listened to them and looked to my musket, and kept watchful and ready; but I was utterly careless of the far greater danger close by, the venomous serpent coiling so near!
It is like what happens to us in life. We are watchful against outer dangers, we try to guard against poverty, sickness and pain, and we let the venomed serpent of sin lie in our bosom, though we know that its bite is death!”
Wow…that illustration bit us (no pun intended)! Keep watch for the hyenas, friends, but don’t neglect the even more lethal and hidden snakes.
