Be Not Devoured
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take
heed that ye be not consumed one of another. -
Galatians 5:14-15

A pointed fable is told about a young lion and a cougar. Both
thirsty, the animals arrived at their usual water hole at the same
time. They immediately began to argue about who should satisfy
their thirst first. The argument became heated, and each decided
he would rather die than give up the privilege of being first to
quench his thirst. As they stubbornly confronted each other,
their emotions turned to rage. Their cruel attacks on each other
were suddenly interrupted. They both looked up. Circling
overhead was a flock of vultures waiting for the loser to fall.
Quietly, the two beasts turned and walked away. The thought of
being devoured was all they needed to end their quarrel.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist
stedfast in the faith, - 1 Peter 5:8-9
