FAITH CAPSULE: One that serves God in His way will walk in Him.
Daniel 6
To serve God continually sets one to be delivered and preserved by God.
Walking with God, walking before God, or walking in Him demands faith in the word of God.
Have faith, living continually by the word of God.
One that serves God in His way will walk in Him.
With continuity, Joseph served God with faith.
God sees all walks of Joseph from the sin that no one sees.
Joseph, in his way, could not yield to the pressure of the wife of his master, who wanted to lay with him.
Genesis 39:8-9 records, “But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
Joseph did not engage in sin before God but walked with God.
Joseph testified his stand before God, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God.”
Continuity should be a constant walk with God.
Daniel continually served God as his character when an unbeliever king recognized Daniel as serving the living God.
At the time of King Darius sentencing of Daniel to an untimely death in the den of lions, the king states: “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” (Daniel 6:16)
The Bible documented the loss of the sleep of King Darius, waiting for the morning hour to check the demonstration of the faith of Daniel.
Daniel 6:19-20 records, “Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
King Darius, an unbeliever of God, recognized in Daniel living life for God consistently would not become a victim of the wicked world.
Daniel continually gives attention to God to gain deliverance and become preserved.
After all night for Daniel among hungry lions, he responded to the calling of King Darius: “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths so that they have not hurt me because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.” (Daniel 6:21-22)
For Daniel, serving God and waiting on God is walking in Him to provoke heaven to give him unfailing deliverance and preservation over his life.
Prayer for today: Ask that you shall live to serve God continually.
