Your God whom you serve continually

Your God whom you serve continually

"Your God whom you serve continually—He will deliver you." Daniel 6:16

Thus spoke king Darius to Daniel when his enemies were about to cast him into the den of lions—and the Lord did deliver him. He sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they did not hurt him.

In the same way, all the servants of God may trustfully expect that He will shield them from harm while they adhere faithfully to Him and His cause.

Not in every instance, however, have they been preserved from bodily harm—but He has always preserved their soul . When He has not delivered them from death—He has delivered them by death, and taken them out of the hands of their murderers to His own arms—to the embrace of His eternal love!

Christian, He whom you serve, will deliver you. Go straight on in the path of duty—go fearlessly forward wherever the Lord leads you. He can stop the mouth of your most malicious enemy, He can shield you in the hour of danger, and He will preserve your life until your work is done,
" Not a single shaft can hit
  Until the God of love sees fit! "

Back to Every Day!
