"God is on Trial"
Daniel 6:3-5
*Daniel was able to stay on track because ultimately he knew his God was on trial
*when you spend time with God, you start taking on His characteristics
*the devil wants to insult your God, it’s God that he can’t stand. Daniel understood that
*our faith has to be tested
*sometimes the testing of our faith cultivates us
*God wants us to grow in grace
*God knows people are always watching and our living is used to convict sinners
*these enemies knew that Daniel had something that they did not have
*they couldn’t find anything wrong so they made something up
*if the enemy attacked you, could you be faithful to God?
*God sends trials so that others will learn to trust God, who is still able, God is on trial
*your level of commitment will either draw people to Him or push them away.
*when your faith is tested, your faith will testify:
-to his friends, to his foes,
-God is on trial and He tests our faith to show the world who He is
*hang on to your faith, hold on to your hope
