In a world that changes, our relationship with God is our steadfast identity. If you find yourself in a season of life where it seems like everything around you is in opposition to God's calling over you, know that there is an opportunity to be found faithful to God's Word. We learned that Daniel's initial obstacles were but the beginning of major trials, and that we cannot conquer life's great battles if we compromise on the obstacles. Daniel did not negotiate with anything that would have him disobey the Lord; obedience outlasts complacency!
