Bible Commentary

Psalms 22:13

The ferocity of opposition is vividly pictured. For Jesus, the hatred of the crowd at the cross was this visceral — loud, animal, consuming. But God is described elsewhere as the Lion of Judah — and He is greater.

Memory phrase: God is greater than every roaring enemy.

Talk about it: Is there anything in your life that feels 'loud and scary' right now? How does God being greater help?

Prayer: God, when things feel scary and loud and threatening, remind me You are greater than anything that roars at me.
