Daniel 2:20-22 – “Daniel answered and said:

 “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. 21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. 22 He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.” NKJV

When king Nebuchadnezzar had his dream and threatened the entire kingdom wanting an interpretation Daniel’s words declare why he was fearless in his actions, words, and life even before the most powerful despot in the known world at that time.  It should also be a reason for us to live fearlessly.

Consider Daniel’s declaration:

• He recognized God as Eternal and his Source.
• He recognized God’s power over the natural and spiritual.
• He recognized God’s authority over man even mighty despots.
• He acknowledged the true source of wisdom and knowledge.
• He was openly receptive to the prophetic power of God and the omniscience of God.

            Imagine living when you are 100% confident that God is not only eternal but your source of everything.  Living in a condition and attitude where you ‘fear no man’ because you know that God has control of EVERYTHING from the weather to rulers and knows the hidden and revealed things and He is guiding you.  Imagine!  That is exactly where we should be living.

We have the promise of God to NEVER leave or forsake us.  We have the promise of God to guard, guide, and grace us in all things and at all times.  We know that He has defeated the enemy of our souls and in the time needed He will give us the words to declare, open the way for us, and guide our footsteps.  That is our God!

           I refuse to live in fear of man or the devil. Man may kill me physically but have no impact on my eternal destiny that is in God’s hands and I trust Him.  Man may restrict my ability to live freely in the natural but cannot prevent me from being free in the Spirit.  Because of WHOSE I am I live fearlessly and free!

May God be with you as you go through your day!
