Daniel
6:10, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his
house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled
upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God,
as he did aforetime.”
The
prophet Daniel was not so different from you and me. He lived in a time of
displacement and captivity for his people. He struggled to remain at peace with
his captors and remain true to the Lord God Jehovah. But, when he was forced to
make a choice, he always chose God.
When
Daniel knew that the decree was signed forbidding anyone to pray to any other
god except King Darius, Daniel made an open show of his allegiance to God
(Daniel 6:10). Daniel prayed as before! His prayer life was the foundation for
his existence both present and future. When the enemy tested his love and
loyalty to God, Daniel continued doing what he did every day. The die was cast
and the pattern was established. Therefore, Daniel held to his faith in God and God
delivered him.
The
substance of our life in Christ must be established before the storm comes. We
must know that the foundation of our life is built upon Jesus Christ and all
other ground is sinking sand. Therefore, when the trials of life test us, we
continue doing what we have always done. We pray and trust God and He will
deliver us once again!
God reveals Himself and our future in Him during these times of intense trial. It is during those times that we seek guidance and rely so heavily upon Him. He uses our faith and our dependence on Him to lead us into our future with Him! Lord, Keep Us Safe Till The Storm Passes By!
