Like his three friends, Daniel was a faithful witness for the Lord. He did not abandon his faith in the face of persecution. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung talks about how persecution is inevitable in the path towards a godly life. The question is: “How ready are we to face it?”

Chapters 4 and 5 of Daniel tell stories of two kings and their contrasting reactions to the warnings of God. One humbled himself, while the other persisted in his pride. This week, listen to Rev. Jeremiah Cheung as he discusses the downfall of continuing a life of pride before God. “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

King Nebuchadnezzar ruled with pride and arrogance. But in witnessing God’s mighty hand, he eventually realized that God alone is the true source of power, righteousness, and justice. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us to ask and examine ourselves: “Like Nebuchadnezzar, are we in need of God’s humbling and awakening?”

Faced with a choice to give up their faith or face execution, Daniel’s three friends remained faithful to God no matter what. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us to persevere in the faith so that our lives can be a blessing and a reflection of the only true and great God to others.
