I was reminded a number of days ago of the prophet Daniel and how his view of God and commitment to Him stayed steady despite the pressure and discouragement that was all around him. Even though Daniel had to spend a night with the lions, he did not fail to trust that God knew what was best. As a result we see that Daniel s testimony during this time even influenced the king and he declared that Daniel s God was the only one that was authentic and real (Dan 6:26-27). May we be like Daniel during these days and continue to trust God and experience His never-ending love and stay close to His side. Remember, we re praying for you folk.
