stand up for Jesus: standing up in Babylon

stand up for Jesus: standing up in Babylon by ric Gustafson


Daniel's story in the book of Daniel helps us to learn how we can live boldly and stand up for Jesus. Standing up in Babylon was not easy. It took enormous courage, conviction, faith, endurance and prayer.
The first thing to stand up for Jesus today is to be faithful. We need to honor God and his Word every day. Second, we need to be vigilant. We need to daily pray for God's intervention and guidance that are beyond our control. Third, we need to be steadfast. We need to trust God and his unwavering faith. God is in control and will deliver us to victory. Fourth, we need to be strong. We need to ask God for strength and demonstrate his love, grace and compassion daily. Fifth, we need to be gracious. We need to show restrain and respect authority. Lastly, we need to be consistent. Daniel was consistent and we need to be also.
