Be Brave and Strong

 Scripture:

“The angel touched me a second time and said, “Don't be frightened! God thinks highly of you, and he intends this for your good, so be brave and strong.” At this, I regained my strength and replied, “Please speak! You have already made me feel much better.””  ‭‭Daniel‬ ‭10‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Daniel had some awesome visions and interactions with God and his angels. He saw things that were thousands of years in the future and God revealed to him the things that would happen at the end of time. When the angel interacted with him, he said, “Don’t be frightened! God thinks highly of you, and he intends this for your good, so be brave and strong.” Even though he was a powerful man of God, the angel told him not to fear because God things highly of him.

Application:

We know God thinks highly of us and has blessed us with His grace and mercy, but we usually struggle to receive His love and walk in it. As the angel told Daniel to be brave and strong, we can be brave and strong because the same God that spoke to Daniel, still speaks to us. I want to seek God more and walk in His awesome revelations. I long to encounter the Lord as Daniel and Ezekiel did.

Prayer:

Father, I offer You my life. Speak to me. Show me things to come. Let me understand the times and seasons I am living in. Show me the future and how to prepare Your people for it. Teach me Your word and reveal truth to me daily. Let me walk in step with Your Spirit and help me to live life well as Your child.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
