Phil shared from the story of Daniel in the Bible. Daniel (of lions den fame!) was an amazing man of faith in the Old Testament who chose to live faithfully to God in a very hostile environment of exile. He was also gifted in interpreting dreams and had insight from God into the unseen spiritual world around us. We need to recognise evil in the world around us and these things can seem a little weird and even frightening. However we rest in the fact that God has won the victory in Jesus, and are called to continue to live faithfully like Daniel — keeping on doing good, focussing on Godly things and holding on to the truths of the Word of God which the Bible calls the Sword of the Spirit.
