One of my favorite stories is about Daniel, his life fascinates me how he endured this life of evil.
Yesterday when I heard Mark 9: 49 For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Everyone , is very clear, it leaves no one out. It helps to know when we are going through a fire , Who is with us and that we are not alone .
It makes me sad for a teaching, that if be believe in Jesus we do not suffer on earth. That lie has caused many to leave their faith. That lie has caused many to go into faith with a false pretense. We only have to look at the life of Jesus to know our time on earth will be difficult. We only have to look at the lives of the Apostles to know this life will be difficult.

It was hard in the times of Daniel and it will be hard today. Until Jesus returns we will face difficulties. Our rewards are not of this this world. Rewards of this world do not help refine us for the next.
We only have to look at all the people that have earthly rewards , with many earthly things, to see that is not what we are looking for.
Take comfort today if you are being salted with fire. Jesus shows us He endured worse than we will ever face and yet overcame. I know many are facing hard times right now , I see it everywhere. When you feel your at worse go to the Book of Daniel and no matter what the world says , kneel and pray.

When you feel your at worse go to Luke 23 and ask, am I facing what Jesus faced , the answer will be no, so face the day with Him, that did face what your facing. He faced all we face and unless we face what He did in Luke 23 , we are having a good day … Do not judge your life by others, judge your life, your pain your sorrow and your happiness , by Luke 23...
