He did not have control over the circumstances he was in, nor could he avoid the changes he had to go through. We, however, are blessed in that we are given a choice in whatever circumstances we are in.  Daniel and his friends were found faithful. May we ask for the same loyalty to God for ourselves today. </p> Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:45:26 +0000
