Daniel 6: "Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before"

In Daniel in the Den of Lions, Daniel is faced with people who want to see him out of power so much that they attack his faith when they have nowhere else to turn. Daniel endures even faced with death with a faith in God that never failed.

When I read this I felt the same empowering feeling of faith prevailing, when I hear of stories of the same caliber.   I like that idea that God will always be there for you, even when you're challenged with something that seems impossible to overcome.  With faith comes security in the worst and best of times.  Daniel did not waver from his faith and it proved fruitful.  I hope to become close enough to God that my faith never falters, and then I too, will find security in whatever path I take.

Back on the Map...blog

So. I commit to writing this blog and staying on the track of bible reading. Then I break that commitment. Missing one reading a day led to missing quite a few more than one.  It's an unfortunate reality.  But I'm back. And I'm just going to pick up with my latest reading.  This does mean that my blog will have some omissions, but I am willing to return to them when complete.  This puts me back on the map, taking me back on the path of daily worship and reflection with God.  I hope that my will allows for my continued participation, but luckily I've had supportive friends and family to keep me centered regardless of my absence from this blog.  So I continue this blog today, and for the days to come with school and a job.  Dedication and discipline will aid in my journey to document my thoughts about every story I read and reflect on.  Peace be with you.
