Prey

Jesus commissioned Peter, ”Feed my sheep!”

That is the nature of the mature- to be always giving-
to be feeding souls with the things of heaven.

Yes, spirituality is always giving and from its abundance
always nurturing and feeding.

The flesh, natural man, on the other hand,
is always wanting,always needing in its poverty;
always preying on others.

It used to be that real live animals were associated
in our thinking with prey.
Not anymore.

Now we see that there are sexual predators.
There are those pedophiles who prey on children.
There is that which would exploit the elderly
to brutishly devour their savings

And there is predatory lending where greedy
deceivers take advantage of those who fall victim to their practices.


As well, there is a proliferation of scams
on the Internet to prey on the unwary.

And some are still looking for the image of the beast
to arrive on the scene.

Predators everywhere!
Victims as prey.

...the world will be astonished
when they see the beast,
Revelation 17.8
