STANDING STEADY AGAINST THE JAWS OF THE LION/LYING

Courage is not the absence of fear but the awareness of Jesus being near. Thus, true courage stands steady against the jaws of the lion—or the jaws of those who are lying. Like Daniel, we’re called to stand firm, even in the face of hostility. Daniel didn’t just survive the lion’s den; he thrived by trusting God, whose power is greater than any threat or deceit around us. Let’s remember, God’s truth protects us, and His Spirit gives us strength to stand unshaken. “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid... for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).
