From the story of Daniel, in the Holy Bible, we learn what it means to truly be spiritually connected. You can call it thespiritual hook-up. Daniel had the gift of spiritual vision and prophecy. He also had a very strong faith in and connection to the spirit of his Creator. Faithful, Daniel relied upon and trusted his spiritual hook-up for guidance, which enabled him to do and accomplish many things that others could not do. People were quite jealous becausethey thought Daniel thought he was special.
When you know, like Daniel, that you are hooked up with your spiritual source, pleasing people becomes almost insignificant. Even when jealousy turns people against you or causes them to attack you, somehow you know you will be just fine. The worst possible thing you can do when attacked by spiritually jealous people is jump off your spiritual hook in an attempt to please or appease other human beings. This was the lesson that Daniel had to learn.
When Daniel refused to do what the king and his jealous cohorts wanted him to do, the spiritually jealous people convinced the king to throw Daniel into a den of hungry lions. Can you imagine!!! It takes more than the average share of trust, faith and obedience to stand up against a pack of ravenous lions. You must be willing to lose everything to honor your spiritual hook-up. Daniel passed the test! He was so hooked up, he walked right into the lions' den without batting an eye.
Until today, you may have believed that being hooked into people could and would sustain you in the tough times Just for today, hook into Spirit for protection and divine guidance in dealing with jealous or disruptive people.
Today I am devoted to experiencing and strengthening my spiritual connection!
