Day 181: April 24, 2026 – Daniel 6-10 and Psalm 75

We find the classic story of Daniel and the lion’s den where we see that Daniel, no matter what, was going to follow God’s commands and leading. Every time that I read this story I am reminded of the discipline that Daniel had in his prayers over 3 times a day and wonder why we don’t have that same consistent discipline. It should not be difficult to find three times in the day when we pray and recognize that the creator God is the one who gave us life and is the one who provides all things for us. Psalm 75 is also a celebration that reminds us that we are to worship the living God because he has given us life, for the very same reason that Daniel celebrated God, because he consistently recognized that God had given him life.
