Beginning And Ending Of The Gentile Dispensation

55-0109E

Daniel had burnt all the bridges behind him. He wasn't planning on going back, anymore. He wasn't watching his back trail. He was looking, forsaking those things which are in the past. He pressed on to the mark of the high calling. That's what we should be doing. That's what the Church should be doing.
And as I notice, then, God permitted Satan to give him the test. And, oh, they tested them, by the fire. They tested them, also, by the lions' den. And in every instant, God brought them out, more than victorious.
"Many are the testings of the righteous, but God delivereth him out of them all." How marvelous that is! How we appreciate that. Trials, tribulations, tests, all working for the good! After a while, God can see then that He can put His trust in you, and then He'll do great things for you.
