This week we will be studying Daniel and the Lion’s Den from Daniel 6. This is one of the most beloved stories in the Bible, but let’s remember that it probably wasn’t for Daniel. This 80+ year old man getting to spend a night in lion’s den would not have been on or completed his bucket list. And yet, it shows a cyclical nature of prayer and courage - prayer builds courage and courage invokes more prayer. As we continue to lose our religious freedoms here in Canada, it may not be lions that we get thrown to, but persecution is on its way. The ire of authorities may cause us to choose between abandoning our spiritual disciplines or continuing our commitment to pray come what may. May we obey God and find courage from Him!
