Pressure will reveal a lot about you. It separates the real from the fake. It reveals who you really are, your character and what you really believe about life, yourself and God. We try to deflect, stall or squirm our way out of pressure often relying on things that will inevitably let us down to see us through. Instead our faith could just prepare us to stand under pressure. Daniel was prepared, so in the life or death pressure of a moment he was able to respond with wisdom and tact. Practice small steps of courage. In those tough moments take a second to be still and know that God is still God. You will not be snapped. God can do for you what you can't.
