Targeted
Read Daniel 6.10-13
“.. these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help ..” (Dan.6.11)
The king had been ‘hoodwinked’ by his street-wise and ambitious political cronies and failed to discern what their real agenda was – in much the same way as today busy government officials can fail to see what the implications of their laws may be.
In what ways do believers today find themselves similarly ‘targeted’ by those with an ‘anti-Christian’ agenda?
When is it appropriate for believers to defy a law, as Daniel clearly did here?
Prayer: My soul finds rest in You alone, O Lord. I am just a ‘leaning wall’, a ‘tottering fence’: surely they intend to topple me. You are my mighty rock, my refuge (Ps.62)
