We’ll stay with the story of Daniel next Sunday, this time about the part everyone knows—the lions’ den. Daniel always trusted God, no matter what. He had been a trusted advisor for four different kings in two different empires, and always made sure everyone knew it was God who gave him the wisdom and insight that he showed. King Darius liked Daniel very much, and had promoted him to the highest-ranking administrator in the Persian empire. But those who were jealous of Daniel tricked the king into signing a law that Daniel could not obey, because his loyalty to God came first.
Daniel was put in the den of hungry lions, for the crime of praying to God (as he had always done three times a day). Because he had been faithful to God, God was faithful to him and sent an angel to close the mouths of the lions. God knows what we need (better than we ourselves know), and He is able to take care of our needs, no matter what. We can fully rely on God’s care for us.
You’re doing a great job bringing in Thanksgiving food bags to share with needy families. So far we have collected over 300 pounds of food. This Sunday is the last time to bring in your decorated bags filled with food to share with others in our area. Last year our church delivered food to 35 families—several who had no other food in the house when our deacons arrived. Thank you for sharing what God has given you, and helping as He cares for others through your generosity.
Tom and Sydney Cook
