Are you a people pleaser?

Nancy DeMas Walgamuth challenges us to examine where our trust lies.

If we believe that earthly people and forces and governments rule, if we believe they are the ultimate rule, then we're always

going to be adjusting our behavior to please those people. But if we really believe that heaven

rules, we will be free from the fear of man. We'll be able to obey our God no matter what the laws

or the culture we say.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgav, author of Heaven Rules.

For September 13th, 2022, I'm Dana Gresh. Think of a time when the odds were not in your favor.

I'm thinking how true this was when God placed high-risk Momo twins into my daughter-in-law's womb.

We were told there was a 50-50 chance of bringing home two healthy babies. Felt kind of like David versus Goliath. We didn't like those odds.

Then my son and daughter-in-law met with a physician on the team who was a believer. Robbie told them

they were feeling so shaken by the odds.

And this wise doctor simply said, pick a percentage, maybe 100%, and then pray. Ask God to make that

your number. But you have got to keep your eyes on him, not the odds. Good advice, don't you think?

Today, we're going to look at a story with bad odds.

Daniel in the lion's den.

From a logical standpoint, the outcome seemed dire, but the Lord came to the rescue.

Nancy's going to take us back to that powerful story today as she explores Daniel's trust in the Lord.

She's been teaching from a series titled Heaven Rules.

Let's listen.
