Stand – 4 In Faith

Sometimes all we can do is pray and then stand firm in faith. God cares about your and hears your prayers and even when you don’t see it – He is working in your life.

I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen clothing, with a belt of pure gold around his waist. 6 His body looked like a precious gem. His face flashed like lightning, and his eyes flamed like torches. His arms and feet shone like polished bronze, and his voice roared like a vast multitude of people.   Only I, Daniel, saw this vision. The men with me saw nothing, but they were suddenly terrified and ran away to hide.   So I was left there all alone to see this amazing vision. My strength left me, my face grew deathly pale, and I felt very weak.    Daniel 10:5-8

1. God Cares About You More Than You Do

Just then a hand touched me and lifted me, still trembling, to my hands and knees.   And the man said to me, “Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been sent to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up, still trembling.   Daniel 10:10-11

2. God Is Doing More Than You Understand

Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer.   But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia.   Daniel 10:12-13

3. God’s Strength Is Made Perfect In Your Weakness

How can someone like me, your servant, talk to you, my lord? My strength is gone, and I can hardly breathe.”   Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning.   “Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!”   Daniel 10:17-19
