Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
I heard a sermon by Dr. David Jeremiah recently and the theme of the sermon was from the book of Daniel and in this book, God told Daniel to do 4 things.
- Do not stand down. In other words, do not ignore or disregard God’s message.
- Do not stand aside. Do not compromise your beliefs.
- Do not stand against. Daniel didn’t go around talking against the Babylonians, he lived among them. He lived his life according to the teachings of God. We too should live our life according to the teachings of God and His son Jesus. Don’t go around accusing others of their sin. Remember what Jesus said about removing the splinter from your neighbor’s eye while not removing the plank from your own eye.
- Do Stand up. Live your life according to God’s teachings and do not worry about tomorrow. Daniel wanted to know everything that was going to happen, but God told him not to concern himself with everything that was going to happen, just live your life. And He did.Let us love one another. Let us Be Love. We are blessed to be a blessing.
