Daniel 6:10
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime”.
Daniel was not ashamed of praying, even when he knew that a dangerous decree had been signed by the king. He continued in what he believed in. Why should you be ashamed to declare Christ in public? Why should you be ashamed of being identified as a Christian? Why should you be ashamed to dress modestly? Why should you be ashamed to be seen with Bible-believing friends? Why should you be ashamed to be seen praying? Why would you want to feel among in the midst of unbelievers?
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2).
To be proud of Christ is wisdom. To be proud of your faith is wisdom. Raise your head up high, and stand for Christ. Stand for the truth in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Of course, there are eternal rewards awaiting you. You’ll also be rewarded here on earth. Do the right thing, and stop being ashamed!
