Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Unshakeable Faith
Today’s Scripture: Daniel 1:1-20
Daniel’s faith was unwavering. His trust in the Lord sustained him when he was taken into captivity and sent to a foreign country. It also strengthened and encouraged him as he served under kings and faced many daunting challenges.
Knowing God and trusting Him are the two key elements of faith. Daniel learned about the Lord from a young age. While he was in captivity, his words and actions demonstrated that he knew the Scriptures and wanted to obey God. When offered a meal that was incompatible with Jewish dietary laws, he took a risk by requesting other food. In verse 9 of today’s passage, we see that God caused the official to show him favor. Like Daniel, we are to spend our lives learning and carrying out what pleases our heavenly Father (Colossians 1:10).

Daniel knew what the Scriptures said, but he also trusted the Lord to do as He had promised. Every time Daniel took a stand for godliness, he was demonstrating his confidence in God. His friends—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego—had unshakeable faith as well. They did not know if God would rescue them from the fiery furnace, but they believed He could (Daniel 3:16-18).
Do you want to have a deeper faith in God? Ask for His help to trust Him the way Daniel did.

Thought for Today: Because Daniel and his friends knew and trusted God, they courageously responded to difficulty with faith.
