As it relates to our Digging Deep study and as this month closes, I wanted to ask you to consider the possibilities given in this article. Daniel is nothing short of an amazing leader. He had suffered exile from his homeland, likely castration, intimidation over his desire to please God in his diet, the knowledge that his three closest cohorts were being thrown in a fiery pit for the faith he shared with them, the threat of death, along with all the other princes because an ego-centric raging king wanted men to tell him what he had dreamed, and the wrath of the last Babylonian king when Daniel, himself, was forced to tell the likely drunken king that his kingdom was being torn from him. All.Of.That….
Before the lion’s den.
And so Daniel just kept on praying.
And then there was this. Pretty sure I would’ve said “Okay, I can’t do this anymore…There has to be another way….How long can this keep happening?…Really, Lord?…Are you hearing me?”
But not my friend, Daniel. He really is my friend because he has taught me more about forgiveness and prayer and perseverance this month than I can put in this short writ. I love that man, Daniel!
My daughter, Hannah, reposted this and I saw it today. I want to be sure you see it, too. It’s a motivating thing to ponder.
Finish up that study and have a great weekend!
