Remember Daniel in the Lions den? Those who had dishonored Daniel to get him in trouble were searched out, found out, and not only were they themselves thrown into the lions den, but also their wives and children. Their trickery, selfishness, and bad choices got whole families killed. This is the character nature of allowing disappointment to rule your life and indicates Jealousy at its finest; or rather lowest. Guess who did not show up to close the lions mouths? Satan
“At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and were thrown into the lions den along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.” Daniel 6:24
Daniel lived his life remaining faithful to God in prayer, in words, in actions, and in attitude even while in captivity. His faithfulness to God amid false accusations gained him his Freedom.
What does your life reflect? Life or Death? We all experience disappointment, hurt, dishonor, pain, or misunderstanding throughout our lives. As faithful warriors during these times, a life lived with honesty, truthfulness, kindness, and integrity putting faith before each and every choice, physical need, emotional need, and angry attitude leads to wholeness at the end of the day. The hungry lions sleep and so will you. Your faith frees you from whatever tangle you are at risk to be bound to whether it’s lies, addiction, bitterness, jealousy… God is there with you. It is war. Never underestimate God’s work in your life and in this world.
An angry, jealous attitude of lies, revenge, animosity, hate, or trying to control it all on your own leads to a slow, painful death of who you were created to become and it affects whole families for generations. The hungry lions will try to devour you day after day, night after night. Do not give in to the enemies mind games. Stand in your faith and freedom will come.
We are all living life on earth together. It’s all in how we live it. What does yours reflect? Who is watching how you deal and cope? Who do you turn to? What are you teaching? Don’t let Satan break you. It’s evident he doesn’t show up to help when the dirty work is done.
Stay focused on God’s Truths. Living life His Way is filled with Divine Completeness. Your faith and honesty leads to your freedom. Our country needs this right now. Pray for it in Jesus name. God Bless America!
