“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.” Daniel 6:10 NLT
It would be interesting to know what Daniel thanked God for that day. Was it for His constant provision? His faithfulness in every circumstance? His friendship and the fact that he was never alone?
Every bit of this was true even if God had chosen not to rescue Daniel from the lion's den after having chosen to obey God over the king's decree.
Daniel chose to express gratitude and remain faithful regardless of what happened to him, and God protected him.
The God of Daniel is the same God we worship and serve today! His faithfulness, goodness, protection, provision, and friendship has not changed.
Choose to put God above all else, express your gratitude to God daily for who He is, and remain faithful to His calling in your life.
Father, thank you for who you are and all you have done in my life and family. I will always be grateful for all You do for me IJN.
Shalom!
