The roar

“Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the Lord.”1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

What does exult mean? It means to feel or express triumphant elation or jubilation. So, to exult is more than praise. 

Many times I have experienced the fervour my country has expressed when our cricket or football team beat the English, especially if it was a  hard won victory and of Olympic standard. When to concerned the Olympics we are also determined to beat the Americans, especially at swimming. We are all glued to the TV and roar at final victory. This is exultation. This is what the Lord deserves.

Personally the times I roar as a Christian is when a lost soul finally comes to know their saviour Jesus Christ. For me that is the ultimate roar.

I also love it when the Lord show me the success of my prayers. It is a victory over darkness. Scripture tells us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God until all His enemies are under His feet. As His faithful soldier I delight in delivering the heads of the enemies (figuratively of course). The enemies are demon princes who control areas or people. Seeing freedom come to a people, a land, or even a person is worthy of a divine roar.

We are empowered by our Prince, our King. We are His warriors. Let us trample on darkness. Amen!
