A NEW DECREE
SEPTEMBER 29

Daniel 6:25-27

A NEW DECREE

King Darius saw with his own eyes how God saved Daniel. What an amazing miracle to witness! The first decree was centred on Darius as though he were god, and made the Almighty God inferior to him. Now, Darius wrote a new decree to everyone in his land. The new decree was centred on God, praising and declaring His power.

Darius decreed that all men in his kingdom tremble and fear Daniel’s God because He is the living God. From everlasting to everlasting He is God – that means there is no start and no end with God. There is no god or idol that can compare with Him. He was always there from infinity past and will be in the infinite years to come. God is steadfast forever. Circumstances may change and people come in and out of our lives, but God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Once He’s in your life, He will never leave nor forsake you. The God of Daniel is the same God who watches over you.

Darius acknowledged that God’s kingdom shall never be destroyed and his dominion is unto the end. No world leader or super power can ever dethrone our God. He sits upon His throne in heaven and man cannot rival Him. God is the one who has total and absolute dominion. This means that He has the right and power to control and rule over the nations. We see world leaders in the newspapers and on TV. Don’t forget that they are in power, only because God has given them the kingdom of men. Your Heavenly Father is in control of the affairs of men.

Darius testified of God’s mighty work in delivering Daniel from the power of the lions. The power of the lions was no match for God. He made them and at His command, their mouths were shut. Is there anything too hard for Him? There is nothing He cannot do. Are you of little faith? Dare to be a Daniel in the small things and God will build up your faith for big things! Every problem faced with God, is His blessing for you to experience His deliverance and protection.

Thought: "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." (Psalm 34:8)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise You for You alone are the everlasting God and there is none besides You. All may change, but You will never. May my walk with You grow sweeter with each passing day. In Jesus’ name.
