Simple Thoughts...October 29

"So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and hurled him into the pit of lions. The king said to Daniel: “Your God—the one you serve so consistently—will rescue you." 
(Daniel 6:16, CEB)
 
Finding himself backed into a corner by his own arrogance, King Darius gives the order to throw his trusted advisor, Daniel, into the lion's den.  Daniel's faithful witness before him, however, causes the king to do something unbelievable...even as he is feeding Daniel to the lions, Darius bears witness to the ability of Daniel's God to keep him safe.  Serving God gets us into and out of some interesting situations, doesn't it?
 
Prayer: Gracious God, May we serve you faithfully this day, trusting you to deliver us, whatever we face. Amen.
