God always comes through










Read: Daniel 6

Hello Friend!

Today’s publication reminds us to always trust God and hold on to His promises because He never fails.


What does it feel like to be thrown into the lion’s den? That’s one of the most terrifying things to imagine. Imagine Daniel being thrown into the pit with hungry lions waiting for food. Imagine looking at the lions and seeing the hunger in their eyes, their fists clenched in readiness to attack, their mouths dripping with saliva and their tails wagging left and right. Imagine the lions coming close to him, and every step sending panic to his spines. 


Finally, imagine the lions stylishly grabbing him down to mark another feast of the den! But this wasn’t so, or maybe it played out another way, we can only imagine. The King said something important after Daniel was thrown into the den. In Daniel 6:16 - “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”


Of course, the king didn’t expect anyone thrown into the Lion’s Den to come out alive, but somewhere in his heart, he had some confidence about the God Daniel served, the sovereign God. Daniel also believed so much in God to save him, and contrary to our imaginations, a different scene played out. In verse 22, Daniel said, “My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” What a testimony!


Sometimes, it is harder to trust when you cannot find a way to escape. However, today's message is that God always comes through, no matter how bad it gets. No matter how dark it gets, his countenance shines so brightly. No matter how ugly it looks, he makes everything beautiful. No matter how much the pressure, he calms every storm. Even when the circumstances of life come dragging us down, He will never let them overcome us. He shut the mouth of the lions to save Daniel from being devoured, what is too hard for Him to do?


No matter how hard it gets, God will always come through because He alone has all the answers to every problem. However, in the same book of Daniel (Daniel 11:32b), it is written that “the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” It is when we know Him that we can have so much trust in Him. How well do you know the Father? May the Holy Spirit help us to have a deeper understanding of God, so we can learn to trust Him more.


Keep in Mind 

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ‭‭

Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬


Prayer

Today’s prayer is a verse from a hymn and is more of a declaration:

“Standing on the promises that cannot fail,

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

By the living Word of God I shall prevail,

Standing on the promises of God.”

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). ...

Giving Thanks in Everything

Sometimes life feels like it’s falling apart — plans fail, losses come unexpectedly, and hope seems distant. Think of a time when things weren’t going the way you wanted; with all the emotions rushing through your mind, gratitude was probably the last thing you wanted to express. Yet, this is exactly where true thanksgiving begins — not when life is perfect, but when we trust that God is still good, even when things don’t seem that way. God’s Word encourages us to give thanks in all circumstances because He cares deeply for us, and His thoughts toward us are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Even when things seem unclear, His plans are still for our peace and not for our destruction. Sometimes, we need to pause and look back at our lives to see the countless blessings we’ve overlooked. The psalmist reminds us to remember the deeds of the Lord and meditate on His works (Psalm 77:11–12). As we walk through tough seasons, it’s important to shift our focus away from negativity and toward the...

When obedience seems hard

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were in Abraham’s position? God asked him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac — the son he had waited for all his life. Imagine the thoughts that must have run through his mind as he walked toward that mountain, carrying wood and fire but no explanation. Yet, Abraham obeyed. He trusted that even in this impossible command, God had a purpose. His faith reminds us that true obedience sometimes means surrendering what we value most. Sometimes, God asks us to let go of something dear — a dream, a relationship, or even a habit — and our first instinct is to resist. We grumble, argue, or try to reason it out because obedience can feel costly. But obedience, even when hard, is proof of our trust in God. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father even unto death (Philippians 2:8), and that obedience brought salvation to the whole world. The Bible makes it clear that disobedience leads to pain and loss. Saul lost his throne because he disobeyed God’s instr...
