“When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.” – Daniel 6:10
How did Daniel respond when it became law that anyone who prayed to a god other than the king would be executed? He went home and prayed to God like he did every day! He prayed in front of an open window, praising God. Would you have the courage to do the same???
Daniel prayed and gave thanks to God despite knowing his life was in danger. He gave thanks to God on a day that would have terrified and paralyzed many. Daniel didn’t hesitate. He didn’t litigate. He didn’t protest about his rights because he had none. He didn’t equivocate. He didn’t hide himself. Daniel prayed to God and gave thanks the same way he always had. What a beautiful example of steadfast faith!
If that day were to come in your life, are you prepared to be like Daniel and keep praying to God? Is your faith in God and love for Him sufficiently strong that you would keep praying, keep worshipping, and keep giving thanks to God no matter the cost? Consider all that God has done for you in Jesus Christ. Consider all that God is. Then make your decision to worship God no matter what happens. Make that decision today while things are easy and worship is safe. #FollowJesus
