There
is ever a living testimony which had stood the test of time; the story of
Daniel in Babylon! No Christian committed to God’s course is put to shame; God
is always glorified in our diligent pursuits of His Government impact here on
earth.
Take
some time to acquaint your knowledge of this example of God’s driven lifestyle
that makes earthly kings bow before God’s servants; and never God’s heirs
bowing before aimless and selfish politicians:
Daniel 2:44-48 “And in the days of these
kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed;
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 "Inasmuch as you saw that the stone
was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the
iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold-the great God has made
known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and
its interpretation is sure."
46
Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and
commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him.
47 The king answered Daniel, and said,
"Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of
secrets, since you could reveal this secret."
48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him
many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and
chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
49 Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon;
but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.” (NKJV)
