Summary

Today is Monday, December 16, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo. Though we celebrate Daniel’s survival, and rightly so, how should we view God’s protection of His people when their outcomes are less desirable? In other words, does God remove every threat we face? Does He always free us from the prisons of adversity? Are we foolish to trust God through the worst circumstances? If we focus on the immediate, God may appear absent, or even harsh, when life is tough. Lifting our gaze to eternity, however, reveals that God is not only growing His kingdom through our suffering but that we are secure members of His family as well. Whether God rescues us from our earthly dilemmas or He walks with us through them to increase our eternal reward, He actively and compassionately protects His own. We can trust God to do what is best for us even if it is not immediately obvious how He will do it. Think about this: How does this account give you a different perspective on personal trials, allowing you to step back and see the bigger picture of God’s work? Thank you for listening to the Daily Devo. Please send me a comment, like, or share the Daily Devo. It helps others to get the Daily Devo.
