Welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. I'm so glad you're here today. We're going to continue our series called Unshakeable.

Rick is taking us through the book of Daniel, and that's so we'll be equipped to handle whatever curveball life throws at us, even the most difficult trials.

Let's join Rick right now for a very important message. It's the

final part called Will You Stand Strong for God publicly? Number three, standing for God

gives God an opportunity to do a miracle. The truth is, most people have never seen an absolute true miracle in their life.

And the reason why is because they never put themselves out on a limb.

Never be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is.

Never be afraid to rock the boat if Christ is your captain.

You'll never see miracles until you step out and you walk on the water. You got to jump out of the

boat to walk on water. When you stand for God at work, at school, with a neighbor, with a skeptic.

Every time you do that, it gives God an opportunity to do a miracle.

Now, if you live a life of safety, you play it safe, nothing ventured, nothing game,

you will never see any miracles in your life.

I've seen a lot of miracles in my life because I've done enormously outrageous

things. I will often paint myself into a corner and then say, God, how are we going to get out of this?

You put yourself in a position where you trust God so much of God, I'm absolutely bound to fail

unless you bail me out. I'm so far out there right now, God, I am absolutely bound to fail unless you bail me out.

I'm so far out there right now, God, there's no way this is going to happen unless you bail me

out. God, you never know that God can solve your problems if you never have any problems.

You never know that God can do a miracle in your life if you never have any problems. You never know that God can do a

miracle in your life if you never risk anything, if you never have any effort to say, okay, God,

I'm willing to do what's unpopular, and in this case, what was illegal, because I know what you said to do.
