Stay upon his God.

[spencel]

“Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.” Isaiah 50

“Stay: To remain; to continue in a place; to wait; to attend; to stand still; to dwell; to confide in; to trust.” 1828 Webster’s Dictionary

“Spirit, God, is heard when the senses are silent.” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 89

“Let him trust in the name of the Lord; not in himself, nor in any creature, but in the Lord Himself … And stay upon his God;
covenant interest continues in the darkest dispensation; God is the believer’s God still; and faith is a staying or leaning upon Him, as such; a dependence upon His power to protect, on His wisdom to guide, and on His grace, goodness, and all sufficiency, to supply.” John Gill Commentary

“O blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, although
He seems invisible.”
Hymn 86 From The Christian Science Hymnal, 1932 edition

Daniel had this staying power through all the situations he faced. Unwavering faith, obedience, and his dependence on God resulted in sufficiency, protection, and wisdom. He was always prepared. Thank you for this Bible lesson on keeping our oil and steps to wisdom.

“Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 12
