It’s easy to feel like devotion is optional when life is comfortable. But what if the very habits we treat as extras—prayer, Scripture, community—are actually what prepare us for the moments that matter most?

Daniel’s story in Chapter 6 isn’t just about surviving lions—it’s about the kind of everyday, ordinary faithfulness that leads to extraordinary impact. Daniel wasn’t rescued because he suddenly found courage; he was already rooted in consistent, wholehearted devotion long before the threat appeared. That kind of quiet, resolute faith is what God used to turn the heart of a king and proclaim His glory across a kingdom. And it’s still how He works through us today.
