In Daniel chapter 6, King Darius signed a law stating if any person worshiped or prayed to another God, that person would be thrown into the Lions Den. Daniel knew the consequences that he faced if and when he continued to worship God. But he did it anyway. When it got back to King Darius that Daniel had been praying to God for help; Daniel was thrown into the Lions Den. Daniel could have kneeled down to King Darius and apologized for the alleged “crime”, but he didn’t. Daniel trusted in God the whole way. He never gave into the “sin”. Daniel knew that there was only one God, and that is the God that sent his one and only son to die on the cross for our sins. Daniel stuck with God the whole way and the whole time. When King Darius shouted into the Lions Den saying “Daniel, servant of the living God!” “Was your God, whom you worship continually, able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel replied by saying “Long live the King!!” “My God sent his angel to shut the lion’s mouth so they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight.”
It doesn’t matter what you may be going through. If you put all of your trust in God, if you give God everything that you have he WILL NOT let you down. God has never let me down in the past so I am sure he won’t let me down in the future!! You may be to the point to where you are ready to give up; you are ready to throw in the towel. But let’s do like Daniel did. Let’s stand up for what we believe in! Don’t give up, keep trusting in God in everything that you do and he will direct your paths.
