Daniel Lesson 9: Christlike in a Crisis The Caldwell Commentaries Podcast
-
- Religion & Spirituality
In this lesson on the Prophet Daniel and his providential intervention the night King Nebuchadnezzar had a (God-given) disturbing dream, which nobody could interpret (because he did not tell them what it was), we learn incredibly important lessons on being "Christlike in a Crisis". It truly was a crisis; Nebuchadnezzar threatened to cut into pieces all his "wisemen" and turn their homes into dunghills if they could not interpret his dream. Daniel and his 3 Hebrew friends were included among those to be "diced" and "dunged".
What do we learn from Daniel? Well, we learn about having honorable courage in a time of crisis. We learn to face a crisis with not only courage, but prayer! Before going boldly, but reverentially, before the raging king, Daniel and his fellow believers communicated their dilemma to Almighty God. Are you praying about this "CORONA CRISIS" and, more than you own protection, are you praying for many to turn to the Lord Jesus?
Daniel kept close to the Lord even in a foreign land, separated from family, and saturated in a pagan culture. He kept close to the Lord in the face of grave danger, and the result was God gave him wisdom, discernment, peace, godly abilities, and courage in the midst of a crisis. He will do so for us, too, when we live by faith. Remember, God's best works are revealed in impossible situations because then He alone gets the glory!
