Episode 196 - When Doing Right Costs You

Sometimes, when we choose to do right, it will cost us. Daniel knew the king’s new law was designed to trap him. If he continued praying to God, he would be thrown into a den of lions. Yet Daniel did not allow the cost of obedience to change his convictions. Daniel 6:10 says, “He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”Daniel did not begin praying because trouble came, and he did not stop praying when trouble came. His faithfulness placed him in the lions’ den, but it also displayed the power of God.Doing right may cost you something, but compromising costs far more. Remain faithful today, and trust God with the consequences.
