FAITH CAPSULE: Serving God continually sets one for deliverance and preservation by God.
Daniel 6
Walking with God, walking before God, or walking in Him demands to have faith in the word of God to remain continual to do according to the command of God.
With continuity, Joseph served God with faith.
Joseph walked away from the sin that no one sees but, God sees all sin.
Joseph walked with God and could not become a victim of the evil, the wickedness of the world.
At the time of his life journey, he could not yield to the pressure of the wife of his master that 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 consciously engaged not sin before God to walk with God.
Walk with God walking away from sin.
Joseph testified his stand before God, “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God.”
Continuity should be constant with a consistent 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 from Daniel living life for God consistently will not become a victim of the wicked world.
Daniel continually gives attention to God to gain deliverance and preservation attention of God.
After all night for Daniel among hungry lions, he responded to the king Darius: “Then Daniel said to the king, “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)
The continuity of Daniel in serving God provoked heaven to give him unfailing attention of deliverance and preservation over his life.
Learn from the word of God to gain understanding and knowledge to serve God continually.
Prayer for today: Ask that you shall become enabled, to serve God continually.
