Increase Immersion Level in Faith 3
Bible passage: Daniel 6:10
“Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. ”
There is a saying: momentary popularity, momentary success. It refers to temporary success - popularity and success that quickly fades away and does not last long.
It is not true success but a fake success. In faith, there can also be momentary grace and momentary blessings. Many people say, "I have received grace, I have received answers, I have been blessed, I am filled," but their faith soon cools down, and you can see them losing that fervor.
As a servant of the Lord, it is truly heartbreaking and painful to witness such things. However, in today’s scripture, we see the story of someone who received not a momentary grace or a momentary blessing, but continuous grace and unending blessings. That person is Daniel. After being taken captive to Babylon as a teenager, by God's grace, he became an administrator in Babylon and lived up to the age of 90, serving as a prime minister for about 70 years through the Babylonian and Persian empires.
Daniel 6:28 says, “So this Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.” What kind of faith did Daniel have that allowed him to receive continuous grace and uninterrupted blessings instead of momentary grace and momentary blessings? There is a term called "immersion." The concept of "immersion" is a psychological theory developed by the psychologist Csikszentmihalyi.
