General Superintendent Young

Life’s inevitable emergencies overtake every man, sooner or later. But the courage and strength needed for such crises are usually built out of or­ dinary days. The emergencies only reveal what we are on the inside. Such was the experience of Daniel, the Hebrew exile in Babylon long ago. The story of his deliverance from the lions is well known, but what about the un­ derlying issues of the crisis? Even in the land of exile Daniel had risen to a place of leadership and prominence. He was one of 3 leading presidents under the king who were in charge of 120 ruling satraps, and was in line for a further promotion. Then jealousy and intrigue did their dirty work. His fellow rulers not only framed a statute forbidding anyone to offer a petition to either man or god except the king for a period of thirty days, but also persuaded the king himself to sign it. Even Daniel’s enemies knew that no corruption could be unearthed by digging into his administration. His one vulnerable spot was devotion to his religion and his God. Even so, Daniel prayed, for the hazard of position and threat of death itself did not seem to shake him. The Bible does not record Daniel’s prayer, only that he prayed three times a day, with thanksgiving, “as he did aforetime.” And he prayed with an open window toward Jerusalem. (He did not bother to close it.) He kept his window open because his heart was open toward God and he saw beyond the land of exile and current issues of his day. Success in government had turned neither his head nor his heart. Then came the hour of doom and the den of lions. The goal of his enemies was realized and they all slept that night (except the king) with smug glee. But God came to Daniel’s rescue and he was delivered. His honor was subsequently vindicated and his enemies were put to death. His faith stood the test of the crisis, because the needed courage and strength had al­ ready been building up through the commonplace routine of his day-by-day living. joyed being in ihcir parsonage home and had blessed fellowship with these good friends.

G o l d e n T e x t : For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Each of the great cities presented its opposition to Paul on different grounds, that is, philosophy, money, vice, tradi­ tion, religion, politics—but the gospel proved to be adequate for each of these instruments of Satan. On his third mis­ sionary journey the main concern of Paul was centered for three years in the great city of Ephesus. He would have come before but, being sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, he waited until God’s time.
