Uncommon Courage Comes

Uncommon Courage Comes

 

Uncommon courage comes

To those who trust the Lord

Regardless of the storm

Their faith hinged on the Word.

 

The world around will see

They have been with Jesus

He is their energy

He is their driving force.

 

They do not compromise

What He has said – His word

They stand on it and rise

In the face of the world.

 

Like the three Hebrew men

They ride raging fires

Till they reach God’s haven

His pleasure their desire.

 

7  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.Acts4:13

 

35        Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

Heb10:35

18   that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

Heb6:18

 

 

 

 

8     But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

9     Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs.

10   And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.”

11   So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

12   “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

13   Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.”

14   So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days.

15   And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.

16   Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.

17   As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18   Now at the end of the days, when the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

19   Then the king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they served before the king.

20   And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.

21   Thus Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.Dan1: 8-21
