Text: Daniel 6:10-28.
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The Word Of God says, the one with clean hands will grow stronger and stronger- Job 17:9. Strength is therefore a blessing that follows obedience. Those who make God their Secret Place will enjoy unusual protection.
The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead- Proverbs 11:8. A good example was when Daniel was rescued from the lion’s den and all the enemies that conspired against him were devoured in his place. God sent his angels and they shut the mouth of the lions while Daniel was in there.
However, when Daniel was successfully rescued, the angels on assignment were withdrawn to Heaven and the lions were free to devour as many as possible. The enemies of Daniel and their family members became easy food for the hungry lions- Daniel 6:10-28.
Another good example of the holy being rescued and the sinner coming in his stead was when haman planned to destroy mordecai but God allowed the tables to turn against the enemy and the same gallow he built to hand Mordecai was where he was hanged- Esther 7:10.
The Lord has the habit of protecting the holy from all sickness, and he ensures that he does not bring on them any of the dreadful diseases that afflict others but he brings them on all enemies of the righteous- Deuteronomy 7:15
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.Psalm 34:21
The fear of God is the very beginning of wisdom; to shun evil is understanding- Job 28:28.
Prayer Nugget: Ask God for the grace to consistently live a holy life.
