Do you know the story about Daniel in the lions' den? Im sure most of you do and have heard about it in sunday school! Anyway, at the end, Daniel was rescued from death inspite of the plotting and scheming from his co-workers. Surprisingly, he passed the test with his faith and character beautifully intact. How? He refused to compromise.
In places where no one would know except the Lord, Daniel didnt waiver in his private actions. His model is a great one for us to follow.
Establish consistency in your walk with God. If you're not walking with God today, its only a matter of time you'll fail and fall. We will never stand consistently until we are walking consistently with God.
Exact Opposition. Following Christ doesnt mean fewer hassles and hardships. Sometimes it means more! Resistance from family, schoolmates, close friends...They may even say things like "When did u get so serious about following the Lord?" Dont worry about any of them, and take a stand for Christ.
Maintain Consistency. Keep praying and stay on in God's word. "When Daniel knew that the document - his death warrant - was signed, he went to his house....He got down on his knees three times a dayand prayed and gave thanks" (6:10)
Did u notice the subject of his prayers? "Thank You, God, for this opportunity. Thank You that You're gonna show Yourself strong in my life. Thank You that I can trust You even in this."
Consistency in our walk with Godand His word will strengthen us during times of crisis.
