Daniel's Faithfulness
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
An overview; “Daniel was of noble birth, if not one of
the royal family of Judah. He was carried captive to Babylon in the fourth
year of Jehoiachin, B. C. 606, when a youth. He was there taught the learning
of the Chaldeans, and held high offices, both under the Babylonian and
Persian empires. He was persecuted for his religion, but was miraculously
delivered; and lived to a great age, as he must have been about ninety-four
years old at the time of the last of his visions. The book of Daniel is
partly historical, relating various circumstances which befel himself and the
Jews, at Babylon; but is chiefly prophetical, detailing visions and
prophecies which foretell numerous important events relative to the four
great empires of the world, the coming and death of the Messiah, the
restoration of the Jews, and the conversion of the Gentiles. Though there are
considerable difficulties in explaining the prophetical meaning of some
passages in this book, we always find encouragement to faith and hope,
examples worthy of imitation, and something to direct our thoughts to Christ
Jesus upon the cross and on his glorious throne.“ - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 1; “The
captivity of Daniel and his companions. (1-7) Their
refusal to eat the king's meat. (8-16) Their
improvement in wisdom. (17-21)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia attacked Jerusalem and he (see Daniel 1:1-7)
took Daniel prisoner. Daniel he would
not defile himself with the king's food (see
Daniel
1:8-16) because he was faithful to keep God’s law. Daniel could also tell the meaning of dreams and
visions (see Daniel 1:17-21) and King Nebuchadnezzar preferred his interpretations and wisdom
over all the men of his country who served him; “20
And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired
of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters
that were in all his kingdom. 21 And Daniel was there until the first year of
King Cyrus.” Daniel 1:20-21 English Standard Version (ESV). As servants of the Most High God (see Psalm
75:5-7) you and I should know
from where promotions come. You and I have God’s Word so
we will understand what good doctrine is; “1 But as for you, teach what
accords with sound doctrine... 12
training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live
self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, ” Titus 2:1-12 ESV. Hold onto the Word of God (see Galatians
1:6-7) study so you won’t be fooled by false doctrine. We are saved
by our faith in Jesus (see Ephesians
2:8-9) and our faithfulness
will produce good works.
