Daniel 6
When God draws me to today's passage, i kept thinking:" God, what do you want me to write for your people today?" As i read through the chapter over and over again, i feel that HE wants to speak to me first.
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened towards Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. - Daniel 6: 10
i think that Daniel knew that the situation is not favouring him, yet he was not affected by external factors, and continued to pray to the Lord. how many times have i been overwhelmed by unfavouring circumstances, and started to dwell in my own sorrows, except to KEEP LOOKING UNTO THE LORD IN PRAYERS? : ( But it's really very difficult, i struggle.
Then when i read further that Daniel was thrown into the lions' den... i feel that i'm being thrown into one too!!!! As some of you would have known that my job is really overpowering me... i feel that my bosses are like the lions whom are crushing and devouring me. i feel very helpless, unjustified, angry, and what not... at the end of the day, i left with no more energy to fight... : (
However, Daniel's approach to these lions was different.
... My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. - Daniel 6: 21
... no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. - Daniel 6: 23
Daniel TRUSTED in the Lord. He BELIEVED that God will deliver and protect him from all harm. He did not have to fight with the lions by himself.
It makes me think that:" yah... how can i fight with lions by my own strength? i really need to turn to God."
Dear sisters, are you fighting the lions in your life by your own strength? Don't!!!! It's a waste of energy!!!! Turn to God and HE will protect you. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!! i know it's really not easy, because as i wrote this myself, i struggle very hard deep wthin me. i think my life is not a good testimony to write this for you all... : ( But i know God will continue to work in my life, and for yours too!!!! Let's jia you for God together!!!! : )
(ok.. i can't type more as i'm doing this in office... haahaa~ byeeeeeeeeee)

I would like to say thanks for the inspired revival that you wrote to us, verily, in most time it's not easy to turn to God, however this is one of the best way people should do! I highly like the point that "Daniel went to the upper room three times a day and pray to his God" this is a very powerful Scripture that all believers should take into thoughtfulness. Now I am busy preparing for my exams as well as I and my room-mates usually encourages each other to workup early in the morning just to worship God. At the very first time it was fine, we did it daily. however, as time goes on the devil roared like a lion and when it comes to work up I felt like I will do it later...In short I would like to say, 'praying is not easy but we must do it to succeed in our lions as Daniel did'. I thank you for your revivals. God Bless you.
