Thought For Today

The Living God


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 5th of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Daniel 6:20:

” …the living God…”

Now, who said that? That was the king when he came to the dungeon, where Daniel was put with all those ravenous lions, and they hadn’t touched him all night.

I’ve got a beautiful reading I just want to read you from that wonderful man of God, George Müller, the German who got saved in Bristol, England, in a little Bible study and then proceeded to build one of the biggest orphanages in the world. Something like over ten thousand children went through that orphanage, but you know the amazing thing was, he never asked for a penny. He went into his closet and he prayed and Jesus sent the money. I’ve been to that orphanage, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. It’s not an orphanage anymore, it’s a technical college but those beautiful buildings are still standing as a legacy that was left by this man of God.

Now this is what he says: "How many times we find this expression in the Scriptures, 'the living God,' and yet it is just this very thing that we are so prone to lose sight of. We know that it is written 'the living God,' but in our daily life there is scarcely anything we practically so much lose sight of as the fact that God is the living God; that He is now whatever He was three or four thousand years ago; that He has the same sovereign power, the same saving love towards those who love and serve Him as ever He had, and that He will do for them now what He did for others two, three, or four thousand years ago, simply because He is the living God, the Unchanging One. Oh, how therefore we should confide in Him and in our darkest moments never lose sight of the fact that He is still and ever will be a living God.”

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
