Open The Window..Don't Hide Your Faith!!

Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward 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

Most everyone is probably familiar with the story of Daniel in the lions den. He broke the kings rule to not pray and was thrown to the lions. Of course you know God delivered him from the hungry lions and made a huge impression on the king and others. 

If you knew someone was going to behead you, throw you to lions, put you in prison, all because of your faith in Jesus Christ would you be tempted to deny Him? Hopefully not. Pretty scary stuff though, axes, lions, jail time. Humanly it would be hard to comprehend. 

This stuff is real and persecution against believers goes on today and is even sweeping slowly into our own beloved United States. Satan hates Christians and he has tricked others to be his helpers sometimes unknowingly to trample on your faith. How committed to Jesus are you? Would you die for Him? 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus sometimes we in America are living in a protective bubble and become complacent about the enemies tricks. Sometimes burying our head in the proverbial sand seems easier. Help me wake up and take a Stand for my faith no matter who I encounter. Give me supernatural courage. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
