(KJV.) DANIEL 6:10
(10) Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING!
In a nutshell, let's study the lives of these three faithful men; Noah, believed, obeyed the words of God, to build an ark for an oncoming flood waters, he preached to the people, warned them about God's instructions to repent from their evil ways, they did not listen to his warnings, but continued in waywardness, eventually he completed the building of the ark, the flood waters came, cf. book of Genesis 6; Job, the man of God, though Satan, pestered with his life, destroyed all his worldly possessions, sent torments unto his soul, he did not curse God, but remained faithful to him, cf. book of Job; Prophet Daniel was righteous, feared God, worshiped and prayed to him; because of his faithfulness to God, enemies ganged up, formulated lies to King Darius in writing to sign a decree that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days should be cast into the den of lions; what a trap! After the decree was signed, Daniel still believed in God, continued to pray and give thanks to him, however, his faithfulness brought persecution and judgment upon him, he was thrown into the den of Lions to perish, but God was faithful as well, he delivered him out of the mouths of the lions, they did not devour him, cf. Daniel 6:7-24; therefore, today, if there is anyone among us, who are being persecuted for righteousness sake; I encouraged you not to worry, be faithful still, continue to do the will of Jesus Christ, no weapon formed against you shall prosper, he will deliver you from the hands of your enemies.
Beloved, when in persecutions, if possible, fast, pray and give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, leave all allegations upon his shoulders, trust him that he took all our troubles away by his sufferings, death, and resurrection, set us free forever, and whoever he sets free, is free indeed; therefore, be happy, and focus on him! he is coming back again soon. Continue ye in Love! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
