Faithful in the Midst of Battle

In Daniel 10-11, we discover a profound truth about spiritual warfare that transforms how we understand our daily struggles. The message uses a brilliant football analogy: while rams and lions battle on the field, it's the water boys and water girls—those who serve quietly and take hits—who ultimately receive the victory trophy. This is us in the kingdom of God. We're not called to fight like beasts; we're called to serve like Christ, and though Friday looked like defeat, Sunday proved who really won. Daniel's vision reveals that our prayers engage real spiritual battles, that angels are dispatched on our behalf, and that demonic princes actually oppose God's messengers. When we pray, we enter warfare. Yet the most encouraging truth emerges: God has already written history's ending in the book of truth. He knows every battle, every blow, every moment of darkness we'll face. The detailed prophecies in Daniel prove God sees the end from the beginning, which means when we feel like we're losing, when the beasts of this world seem to dominate, we can face losses with courage instead of despair. We're treasured by God, strengthened by His touch, and called to remain faithful—trusting even when it costs us, even when it makes no sense, while interceding for others and looking for our Messiah. The game day is already won.
