DAY FORTY FOUR | Let it Be Known

DAY FORTY FOUR | LET IT BE KNOWN

Dan. 3:18 – But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”

There are times when one must stand up and declare their faith. In those times when the pressure of circumstances and opposition, is demanding of you some form of surrender. The Hebrew boys were facing a fiery furnace for taking a stand concerning their allegiance to the God of Israel. They did not have to renounce Him, only acknowledge the sovereignty of the God-person who ruled their lives on planet earth.

There are many times when the Gods of this world will demand we give them their rightful due. Sure be a Christian but be real about everyday life. It is in these times that you need to “let it be known” that your allegiance and service is to the Living God. To “let it be known” is to choose the way of the Lord over the way of this world. To choose the delights of heaven over the fleeting fantasies of earth! To choose to walk in the way of the Lord rather than stand in the way of sinners! To choose to obey His word rather than the dictates of men! To choose to build His kingdom and serve His cause above all others! To choose to honour your commitments over your emotional feelings! It is often when things are extremely hot that you will have to make a choice.

Either decide to accommodate the ways of the world and conveniently avoid a confrontation, or take a stand for righteousness and pay the price for what you know to be “His way.” Know this! You may well end up in a fiery trial for your righteous convictions, but there will be one standing with you who will lead you through the fires and bring you out stronger and greater than when you went in.

Today! Let it be known to those around you what you really believe. Stop accommodating things that can destroy your soul and “let it be known” you live for His cause, and Him alone.
