Stand: Courage From The Book Of Danielનમૂનો

Please read Daniel chapter 1 before you read today’s devotional content.

We live in a world that’s much like Daniel’s, where culture is trying to train our minds to think, behave, and believe like the rest of the world. It trains us to lower our standards. However, you can’t live passively as a follower of Christ in today’s world. You need to take a stand like Daniel did.

The world calls you to blend in. Daniel and his friends could have blended in with the rest of the young Israelites, but if they had done so, nothing historic would have happened. God can and will use you like Daniel, but only if you take a stand and stand out from the rest of the world. Those who have the courage to stand out inspire others. Why spend your life trying to fit in when you were born to stand out? Wouldn’t you rather be remembered for standing out than forgotten for blending in?

As you finish reading and praying today, ask yourself: How am I guilty of trying to blend in? What’s one way I need to take a stand for my faith in Christ? How and when will I do it?
