Proverbs 30:29-31 Fearless

²⁹ “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
    four that move with stately bearing:
³⁰ a lion, mighty among beasts,
    who retreats before nothing;
³¹ a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
    and a king secure against revolt.

Most of Agur's proverbs are lists of things. We've studied several lists so far, and I believe there are some good things for us to study in this passage, too.

Agur's list here is of four things that are "comely" or beautiful in their appearance, movements, and conduct. They are each different in the trait they are mentioned for . . .

Let's look first at the lion.
In the translation above, the lion is characterized as mighty and fearless. He has a bold and majestic walk, he fears no creature, and because he is fearless he does not turn aside from any other creature. Since he is the "king of beasts" he is an excellent illustration of boldness, fearlessness and confidence.
 
Are we bold and fearless like the lion in doing our Christian duties, regardless of opposition or threats?

The wicked flee though no one pursues,
    but the righteous are as bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1

So we say with confidence,

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?” Hebrews 13:6

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.  II Timothy 1:7

Let's take as our example the Lion of Judah, our Savior!
