FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Trust and hope in God is the key to frustrate enemy in one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Daniel 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is only those who know the name of God (not those who know about His name) that will always put their trust and hope in God. Jeremiah 17:7<\/em><\/strong> stated, \u201cBlessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> The Psalmist buttressed, \u201cAnd those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.\u201d (Psalm 9:10)<\/em><\/strong> Inability of man not to be placing trust and having in God does not mark man as boldness and character frustrating enemy\u2019s agenda. For example, going into prayer ground with prayer request is having trust in God. However, coming out of praying ground with doubt over prayer request and confessing negative testifies not having hope in God.
\nIt is incomplete to approach God with trust and not have hope. Verse above clearly said it, \u201cBlessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> With trust in God to be participating activities among believers, while confessing lack of hope is the evidence of not knowing God indeed and in truth. The fear of God is knowing God. One that does not fear God cannot possibly trust and have hope in God.
\nIn the face of fiery furnace fire, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego refused to serve or worship king Nebuchadnezzar\u2019s gold image. The three brothers had trust in God with hope in God which is demonstration of boldness and character, a winning combination. The three brothers took their stand without bending in their trust and hope in God\u2019s deliverance. When King Nebuchadnezzar questioned three brother\u2019s deliverance he got response as stated, \u201cO Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.\u201d (Daniel 3:16) <\/em><\/strong>The three brothers had trust and hope in God for possibility in the place of impossibility.
\nJust like the three brothers, is there any challenging threatening attempting to hanging your life? In the face of untimely death in fiery fire, three brothers of Daniels\u2019 trust and hope in God responded to King Nebuchadnezzar, \u201cIf that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.\u201d (Daniel 3:17)<\/em><\/strong> Truly, deliverance answered for the three brothers and king Nebuchadnezzar responded, \u201cBlessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king\u2019s word, yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!\u201d (Daniel 3:28) <\/em><\/strong>Trust and hope is the evidence of boldness and character which is a winning combination for ones with fear of God and knows God.
\nJust like the three brothers of Daniel, trust and hope in God to promote you and prostrate your adversary to the glory of God.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the grace of boldness and character in life standing for the glory of God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
