Mon.’s Devo - Stand Up for the Truth

Read: Daniel 1-3
What a powerful reading! If God be for us, who can be against us. Today should encourage us to stand up against the world and not compromise. Daniel didn’t when he was commanded to eat the best food of the land. Daniel and his friends knew that eating what God’s Word said would be healthier than eating the king’s meat and wine. He and his three friends chose water and vegetables and God proved them right. When all the wise men were to be killed, Daniel stood up for all of them and asked for time because he knew his God knew everything, even things hidden and would reveal them to him if he asked. God proved him right. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah put their life on the line and refused to bow to the golden statue Nebuchadnezzar had set up and God proved them right.
God is looking for men just like these four that will dare to love their life not unto death and prove God. God will come to our defense. He is the best lawyer and defender.
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream was prophecy about the future. I love that he couldn’t contain it but it took a believer to interpret the future. There are many seers in the world but God’s seers have the total truth.
Lord, I thank you that you know what is in the darkness and the light dwells with You. Thank you that you give us wisdom and might and will make known unto us whatever we desire of you. (Daniel 2:23)
