Committed To The Course

Jul 13, 2025    Rev. Kevin C. Benton

In our journey of faith, we're called to stay committed to the course God has set for us, even when faced with challenges. The story of Daniel teaches us the power of unwavering devotion. Despite laws forbidding prayer to anyone but the king, Daniel continued his practice of praying three times daily. His commitment led him to the lions' den, but God protected him, shutting the lions' mouths. This reminds us that when we stay devoted to God, even in the face of adversity, He will show up for us. We're encouraged to be intentional in our faith, not compromising our beliefs for worldly demands. Just as Daniel and his friends refused to defile themselves with the king's food, we too must stand firm in our convictions. This commitment may seem difficult, but it's the narrow road that leads to true life and abundance in Christ.
