Proof of Faith
LIVING SCRIPTURE
Daniel 1:11-15 KJV
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
[12] Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
[13] Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
[14] So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
[15] And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
Proof of Faith: this act is seen performed only by a few people in the Bible. These were men and women that trusted the LORD more than life. As children of God we need to learn to build our faith by knowing more of the LORD through His Words and Spirit. Daniel was a peculiar man with a unique mindset, he was not different from any other believer in a special way but he built his way into more of the LORD by totally trusting in the possibilities of God. We have the opportunity to do the same if we choose to know our Heavenly Father deeper than ever before.
Daniel refused the gluttony of politics and kingdoms because he had found the way and culture of God, he had obtain godly contentment and was satisfied with the blessings of the LORD. His discovery made him to request for pulse (vegetables), he craved for healthy meals rather than chunks of beefs and drums of wine. He proposed ten days and in ten days Daniel and his brothers were much more preferred and healthier than those fed with the king's meat.
Wherever we go or find ourselves we must never forget the teachings and ways of God. Daniel showed the proof of Faith to Melzar in Babylon and God was willing to refresh him, which He did. Today God seeks a man in homes, families, youths and children who will stand in His holiness as a light and a proof of Faith to the whole world.
TO-DO
Be like Daniel today, discover Heavenly culture and norms practiced by Jesus Christ and live by them in faith.
