So lately I've been reading the book of Daniel in the Bible. And honestly, I really, really enjoy it. I think of all the Old Testament books I've read (which isn't very much) I can look at this one and really get something from it. I just find it so amazing how Daniel truly loves God and worships Him. He knows that God will take care of him because he has been faithful.
I just finished reading Daniel in the lion's den. I have always read that story in the children's Bible but that was about it. I was surprised to find out that Daniel was in his 90s when he was put in the lion's den. Anyway, the whole reason he got put in there was because some people convinced the king to make a law that no one could pray to any God, only the king, for the next 30 days. Well, Daniel didn't care about this rule and decided to keep on praying three times a day to God. The consequences are obvious (getting put in the lion's den) but God spared him and shut the mouths of lions. This wasn't Daniel's first escape from death. God had been sparing his life time and time again because of his faithfulness.
It is my desire to be that faithful to God. That I could 100% live for him. I'm either all in or all out.
Count me in.
