DAILY READINGS: Exodus 21; Psalms 62-63; Acts 11:19-30
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Daniel 6:5
One hundred and twenty princes and three presidents (of which Daniel was the first), ruled over the Kingdom of Darius. These men were undoubtedly some of the most gifted men in the world, brilliant intellectually and administratively. Daniel stood above them all. Jealousy spurred them to destroy him and so this group, all 122 of them, set as their task to find fault with him. Yet after sifting his life with utmost scrutiny all they could find fault with was his faithful prayer life to his God. If our life were scrutinized would this be all that our accusers would find? —S. L. L.
To Thee with all my heart I pray, now at the dawning of the day;
I know Thou hast me in Thy care, and Thou wilt hear my prayer. —J. Reed
