ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 2nd December 2024 Is “Daniel: The Man Of Courage”
Read: Daniel 6: 10-15(NKJV)
10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.
11 Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king’s decree: “Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” The king answered and said, “The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.”
13 So they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14 And the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 2ND DECEMBER 2024.
Christians are confronted with diverse challenges every day, from within and without, including unimaginable conspiracies from among brethren. Often times, these challenges come as a result of one’s resolute faith in Christ.
In our text, Daniel stood his ground and refused to be intimidated, having known the King’s decree was targeted at him. He simply continued his excellent prayer life, at the risk of being killed.
We are living in a time when people have several ways of finding solutions to their problems. Daniel did not think of any other way; he simply turned to God in prayer and God delivered him. Who do you turn to when you face challenges? Are you a man of courage and prayer like Daniel? Determine today to always take your challenges to God in prayer; there is nothing too difficult for God to do. The hymn writer, Joseph Scriven, says:
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there troubles anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
PRAYER: Almighty God, the Saviour of the world, hear the petitions of your children and deliver us from our troubles through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
