I've been reading Daniel lately, Daniels a great little book in the bible; but its almost like every page I turn, God's doing something INSANE through Daniel. Daniel has no option but to trust God. And boy does God come through.
So the story starts off as Daniel's people are being exiled to Babylon, and he (as an Israelite) is fed on fancy food - like meat & wine. But he (& friends) refuse, on behalf of Jewish law. After a few weeks, they're all 'medically' tested and found to be just as strong and healthy as the others.
Then he tells the king what he dreamed & interprets it perfectly.
Then his friends get chucked into a fire SO hot that the guards delivering them to the furnace burn up and die. Somehow they survive.
Then Daniel correctly predicts the future.
Then he gets thrown into a den filled with hungry, savage lions ... and survives.
So, Daniel puts his faith in God, and God comes through. This is the same God I worship today, He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He's not going to change. So I can put that same trust in the same God. And He'll come through. He'll save me from anything - so why am I so afraid to proclaim His name?
