COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FEAR (9)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SATURDAY, 21 OCTOBER 2023
Yet again, beloved, another individual who exhibited great courage and conquered his fear is Daniel. Daniel’s unwavering faith in God enabled him to defy King Nebuchadnezzar’s order to worship idols and instead continue to pray to God. This act of courage led to his being thrown into a den of lions, but God protected him, and he emerged unharmed.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “My God sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him; and also, before you, O king, I have done no harm.” — Daniel 6:22 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Daniel’s life emphasizes faithfulness, prayer, and trust in God in the midst of difficult circumstances. His unwavering commitment to God, even in the face of life-threatening situations, is a testament to the power of faith and the protection that God provides to those who honor and serve Him. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Daniel’s story demonstrates that courage and faith can overcome even the most dire circumstances.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, just like Daniel, let us remain resolute and faithful in our trust in God, and always find courage through His Word and prayer.
PRAYER: O GOD, give us the grace and courage just like Daniel, to face and overcome every difficulty in our lives, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As the Lord helps us, may we remain strong and courageous in the face of adversity, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Daniel 1-12
