Proclaim Perseverance               

The Bible says, “Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.” Daniel 6:18-24 (KJV)

Our country has been rocked by the assassination of a young husband and father. Before this horrendous action he boldly spoke of his Lord and Savior and sought to show the misguided of the error of their ways. He spoke in truth, with clarity, and with charity as found in 1 Corinthians 13.

There is coming a day when the Righteous Judge shall return and all shall be made right. Until that time it behooves us to live according to the precepts of the Word of God and boldly proclaim His love, “as a workman rightly dividing the word of truth.” Lost souls hang in the balance.
