Reflections From Sunday Evening

This month we have been looking at three stories in the Book of Daniel.  We have made some discoveries.
Whatever the time, place, or circumstances God always maintains a people who keep faith alive.  There are always some who are empowered by the Spirit to live faithfully in a faithless place.  That comes from Daniel 3.
We see that an arrogant heart (see Belshazzar) effects how one thinks which leads to how one acts.  That is Daniel 5.
Daniel 6 teaches us that faith honors God and God honors faith.
Those are some insights we have talked about.
Be encouraged by the scriptures.  In a "care" sense we all face events or seasons of life that take on the nature of a fiery furnace (Dan. 3) or a Lion's Den (Dan. 6).  The good news is that God is with us in and through all things.  We have faith.  We trust.  God is faithful.
There have been times when nations have been faced with the most trying of times.  The good news is that in and through all times God maintains those who keep faith alive and maintain the practices of faith that becomes world changing.
We will continue to See Beyond in the rest of the month of July and do so with the assurance that God empowers us and invites us to walk with Him.
It's been a good day.  I hope you've had a good day too.
