It can be challenging to live a life committed to the Lord.  Not only do we struggle to consistently choose God’s way over our way, we also find that the world around us doesn’t always affirm or encourage our obedience to the Lord.  In fact, there are many ways in which our culture stands opposed to Biblical values.  Still, God calls us to remain committed to obedience nonetheless.

 

It is clear that Daniel had made up his mind in advance that he would serve the Lord no matter what.  In Dan. 6:10-18, we can find 3 encouragements to strive for obedience to the Lord: 1) Keep Your Commitment to the Lord, Even if it Changes Nothing; 2) Stand Firm in the Face of Slanderous Accusations; 3) Live with Courage, Even if it Costs You Everything.

 

Dedicate yourself to obedience, even before the difficulties come.
