Many people have taken a stand for Truth in Faith through the centuries. Many have gone to their death for Faith. Many people in God's word encourage me to continue to press on in Faith. Daniel always comes to mind first when we think of being sent to die for His Faith, and yes to face death for our Faith is Extreme, or shall I say "The Extreme" Daniel didn't sweat. His Faith was completely in God all the time, even facing death. HE took at stand in front of the King with the ordeal with the food, Daniel insisted to stay to what He believed in to be True. God's Truth can be trusted like that, if someone totally trusts in God and is pressed to fold and chooses to stand, God will be Glorified. Some Christians have faced death strong in faith and still faced death and took it with Faith that Glorified Christ. Today, we each are tested in different ways for our Faith, it may not be as Extreme as a Lion's den, or a Fiery Furnace as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, or as John the Baptist. Any time we are tested to stand in Faith can be a trying moment, but if we stay focused on Christ, focused on Our God, He will strengthen us and He will be glorified. Remembering that fear is not of God, and not letting fear be a factor in us folding, instead letting our complete trust in God be stronger than fear itself.
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Phil.4:13
