The greatest follower of God in scripture (besides all the others) had a theory.

He reasoned:  “How can I stop?”

And so he didn’t.

The ruling class surrounding Daniel could not stand him.  Why?  Because God got a hold of Daniel—and Daniel had found his only answer — and that was the Answer.

And so when they tried to bully Daniel out of his high position, he was not phased.  He was unwavering.

When His life was threatened if he dared pray to God … He went ahead and prayed.  After all, how could he stop?

Daniel 6 10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.

To read the rest of the story, go read Daniel 6.

But that is not the point here.

The point here is that Daniel knew who he was.

And Daniel knew what, and more importantly Who, he stood for.

Our God is irresistible.  He is amazing.  He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  He owns the cattle on a thousand hills and is no respecter of men.

He won’t condemn you for failing, but he also isn’t going to look at your resume and say:  “Wow!  You have truly impressed me!”

No.

Our God has made a decision.

He has decided to join us.  To partner with us.  To walk with us.

And when Daniel found out that God would truly be his friend, for eternity, he pursued Him.

After all …

How Could He Stop?

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
