Daniel 6:26-27

This commentary challenge is taken from the Everyday Bible Commentary on Daniel 6 - Daniel in the Lion's Den. This plan highlights important themes found in the passage and is for anyone who desires to deepen their study of scripture and begin to discover the profound significance and nature of the Word itself.

Many have it all wrong about the Christian faith. There is a deceptive notion that once Jesus is accepted in their heart, all issues disappear and suffering ends. Others believe that they are exempt from experiencing such pain. Do not be deceived! In this walk, suffering is inevitable, but we have a promise. With that, we can proceed in life with boldness because we are backed by God!

Pride can get the best of us all. It is the sneakiest temptation we face because it can take over our thoughts without us realizing it is happening. This study digs in to how to recognize that temptation, how to control our thought process, and how to remind ourselves that God is the author and perfecter. In this study, we choose to say, "Jesus, Step into my story."

Where does our power and motivation as leaders come from? As Christian leaders, we must acknowledge that apart from God, we are nothing. This four-day devotional helps us practice the lifelong exercise of turning from pride to humility, rebellion to obedience, and fear to empowerment, turning our gaze from our earthly Babylons toward the heavenly Jerusalem.
