Reflections with Andy - Daniel 6: 10-18 – Daniel’s Courage

In today’s reflection from Daniel 6:10–18, we see Daniel respond to the king’s new law with quiet, consistent faithfulness. Daniel knows the decree has been signed and understands the consequences, but he simply continues doing what he has always done: praying to God three times a day. His circumstances change, but his faithfulness doesn’t. Daniel’s example challenges us to consider whose approval we are seeking and what ultimately determines our choices. Cultures, opinions, and circumstances change, but Jesus remains the same. Rather than allowing every cultural pressure or controversy to determine our focus, we are called to keep our eyes on Jesus, seeking his approval and following the demands of the gospel. Like Daniel, may we have the courage to remain faithful, to love and serve others, and to trust God with the consequences.Join us for our daily reflections.
