And You Thought Dragons Didn’t Exist!!!!

While sitting at my dining room table recently, I made the statement and you thought dragons didn’t exist. My daughter and her girlfriend immediately commented. Dragons don’t exist, they are just fictional animals. I laughed and said but they do. Both of them said really? I said yes really. It was really fun explaining my definition of dragons to them.

According to Webster’s Dictionary dragons are defined as 1) a huge serpent or snake, 2) a mythical monster generally represented as a huge, winged reptile with crested head and enormous claws and teeth, and often spouting fire, 3) a fierce violent person, and 4) Satan. These are just a few of those listed.
When I think of dragons, I think of a mythical huge, winged reptile with crested head, and enormous claws and teeth spouting fire. They are fictitious, not real, only found in tales. As I thought long and hard about this, I recognized that dragons come in many forms.

Dragons are (fear, anxiety, depression, guilt, substance abuse, pride, envy, jealously, low self-esteem, etc) anything that is negative in your life can be a dragon.

God can slay the dragon. We are to change those things that we can, and let God handle the rest. God established your value and significance when he died on the cross for your sins. We must recognize that we have to be totally dependent upon God to slay our dragons.

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in zeal as a cloak (Isaiah 59:17 ESV). This is God’s protection.
