Thanks God for
sharing with us yesterday about what many of Your followers have faced in order
to obey You, love You, and share You with others. I pray You would allow us more wisdom in
this, so that we won’t crumble when we are faced with trials of our own.
Yesterday we began studying on James 5:9-10, where it mentions
remembering the faithful in times of old who had suffered
patiently… who waited on the Lord knowing that His promises would be fulfilled
even if it wasn’t in their timing.
Please read James 5:9-10 once more and click on… Day #69 in order to
understand why we are studying on this topic.
Yesterday we took a look at…
What types of things did these guys face? Did they make any poor choices? Did they remain faithful? Did God work miracles through them? Did others notice? Did those that noticed, change their ways? Was their punishment on those that had done wrong?
Today we are going to take a look at a few more of these
faithful heroes of Old Testament times.
Please take time to read the following stories by looking them up in
your own Bible or by clicking on them.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego – Their story picks up after their friend Daniel is
able to reveal and interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. Daniel is then appointed to the high position of
chief ruler of the province of Babylon and chief of all the wise men of
Babylon. Daniel 2:49-3:30.
Elijah – Elijah is a prophet of God that is faced with being the last one
remaining in the area he is in. All the
other prophets, 450 in all, are prophets of a false god named Baal. At this time, the people in this land were
flip-flopping back and forth between whom they would serve… God or Baal. Elijah decided to have a little test to see whose
god was (and still is) the real GOD!! 1
Kings 18:20-19:3.
