God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
When we think about our
children in crises like the lion's den ...
When
Daniel was thrown into the lion's den,
King
Darius said to him, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue
you"
(Daniel
6:16).
The
next day, Darius, having risen early in the morning,
rushed to the lion's den and, with a worried
voice, called out to Daniel,
saying,
"Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God,
whom
you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?" (vv. 19-20).
As I
reflect on this passage,
I
believe that when we think about our children in crises like the lion's den,
it is
natural for us to be deeply worried and concerned.
However,
we should also believe that our God,
whom
we serve continually, will rescue our beloved children in times of crisis,
and
we should earnestly pray to the living God for them with faith.
