Keep a company of believers

 “Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.” Daniel 2:17-18

 

Your faith shall be tested. In a time of test, you need people that will encourage your faith and not people that will cause you to doubt. Daniel himself was a strong believer, but his companions are strong believers too. People who entered a furnace and the fire could not do them any harm. These people were ready to join him when he needed to know the king’s dream and the interpretation. An assignment the magician considered impossible. It is easier to believe if you keep the company of believers.

“And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.” Mark 13:30-31

 “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” Numbers 13:30-31.

Choose a believing company and live! Jesus removed the company of doubters before He brought Jairus daughter back to life. Caleb encouraged the people to believe and take the promised land in Numbers 13 but the others except Joshua said it could not be done. Both groups got what they believed. The group that believed it could be done despite the presence of giants, got into the land. The people that did not believe did not get there.

All things are possible for you in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God, dissolve the company of doubters around me in Jesus name.

Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord.  I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
