I am so "taken" with the God of Daniel and how He helped Daniel face his exile. This prisoner-of-war spent his 90 years or so in Babylon, a prisoner-exile and a political prophet. Daniel knew about "first things" first. Honoring his God. Not the practice of kneeling 3 times a day but the purpose behind it: Daniel honored the God Who gave him breath. Never shrinked back, even without his parents. No family support there. He was of those who had faith ~ Heb 10:39. Waiting Quietly on his God ~ Lam 3:26 ~ whether it was for God to shut the mouths of lions or quell the kings that threatened. Daniel was wise and shined like the brightness of the stars above ~ Dan 12:3. Alone, in a lot of ways, but Never Alone.
Wage Good Warfare.
Hold Faith.
Hold a Good Conscience.
I Timothy 1:18
From the days of old, the Ancient of Days sees and knows and offers more than you now know.
Someone once wrote: the Gospel has eyes that see right through and beckon...
Am I fighting the right battles? Am I waging good warfare?
