People see the Spirit of the Living God in us...!

Daniel 6:16, 20-22, 26-27 NKJV

So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?” Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.” I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men  must  tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is  the  one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall  endure to the end. He delivers and rescues, And He works signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Shalom! Day #238. Do you know that even the unbelievers who have witnessed the power of God working through you will fast and pray to the Living God just to save you from harm and danger because they acknowledge that the Spirit of the Living God is in you? Let's pray. Father, we pray today that you would use each and everyone of us who read this devotion today to touch at least one life today that they may see Your power is at work in our lives and in their lives. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Darius, he was trapped by his own governors in motive to murder Daniel because he was well known. They felt insecure by the reality that Daniel is better than them in every ways. So the plotted against Daniel by asking Darius to give a decree and put to death those who don't bow down to their "gods." Well what happen then? Did the lion tasted a delicious meat? Yes, but it wasn't Daniels. Darius fasted and prayed for Daniels wellbeing while he was in the lion's den. He said, "Your God whom you serve continually, He will deliver you." Darius recognizes it. He saw the ferventness of Daniel in serving God. And he said CONTINUALLY,  which means Daniel did not bow down to the Babylonians gods, but he faithfully served the One true Living God!

The things you do for God, people sees it. Be it believers or unbelievers,  they see, hear what you do. The only thing differentiates the followers of Christ is, whether they are living according to His word and did not bow down to other gods or they are just being a Christian for name sake. Darius recognizes that Daniel is a servant of the Living God, and he witnessed that the Spirit of the Living God is in  him. Can people see the Spirit of the Living God in us? Can they recognize that you are the servant of the most High God? Are we producing the fruits of the Spirit of God In us?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
