How many times has life seemed like walking on a balance beam?
In dealing with all the pressures and challenges of life, you feel like at any moment you're going to fall, and face a crisis that will be devastating.
No one knew trials better than the prophet Daniel. I have often wondered what it would feel like, when the lid to the lion's den was opened, and he heard the roar of the lions below. How do you balance something like that? The only way he faced that, and the only we are to face the trials that come in our lives, is to place our faith completely in the Lord.
As it says in out text about the Lord: "He delivers, and rescues and performs signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who has also delivered Daniel from the power of the lions." (vv.26,27)
King Darius finally got it right. But the question is: Do we have it right?
To walk the balance beam of life, is to have the support of the Lord with us at all times. (Psalm 121)
None of us will escape the trials of this life. But it is better when we know that we don't have to face them alone! GP
