Summary
A tiger that had been wandering around a Houston neighborhood for several days has been found safe. In The Daily Article for May 17, 2021, Dr. Jim Denison tells this story as a metaphor for the biblical fact that "the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8), then he focuses on reasons to resist him by trusting God's word even when we do not understand his ways and closes with an invitation to trust our greatest challenges to our Father today.
The Daily Article is written and narrated by Dr. Jim Denison.

| 0:22.5 | May 17, 2021. The title is Pet Tiger Recaptured in Houston, trust in God's Word when we do not |

| 0:34.6 | days has been found safe. It was taken to an animal sanctuary |
| 0:38.1 | yesterday morning and for good reason. There really is no such thing as a pet tiger. As the humane |
| 0:44.5 | society notes, attacks by captive tigers have killed children and adults. What is true physically |
| 0:50.7 | is even more true spiritually. First Peter 5A warns us, be sober-minded, |
| 0:55.7 | be watchful. Your adversary of the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone |
| 1:01.5 | to devour. He has clearly been roaring lately as a scan of the headlines shows. A four-year-old |

| 1:41.5 | peace in Israel. If you and I were all knowing, all loving, and all |
| 1:45.9 | powerful, we would not allow tigers to attack humans or humans to mistreat tigers. We wouldn't |
| 1:51.4 | allow children to be harmed, much less murdered. We wouldn't allow attacks of any kind on innocent |
