Facing Toward The Name Of Yahweh

Going through the portal Pastor Paul takes us to the story of Daniel in the lion’s den as we reexamine it—not as a tale of mere survival, but as a lesson in our conviction, rhythms, and our orientation toward God. Paul illuminates how Daniel’s strength wasn’t found in avoiding hardship but in his daily practice of prayer, consistently facing Jerusalem, and turning his soul toward the presence of Yahweh. And he challenges us to consider what we open the “windows” of our lives to—wether it’s culture, distractions, our struggles and hardships, the difficulty of our relationships or is it going to be God’s presence. So we’re reminded that our victories come not from eliminating the “lions”, not from facing them down, but from elevating ourselves, opening our windows, and facing toward the name of Yahweh, looking to the hills from where our help comes, aligning ourselves with the stronger one, Christ, who gives His strength in our weakness.
