The Book of Daniel: Resilient Faith
Where do we find our true identity and how do we hold on to it? Do our daily decisions draw us into God’s plans and purposes or away from them? How often do we remind ourselves that God is ultimately in control even if we can’t always see that? Does the reality that one day Jesus will return and establish God’s righteous order for all eternity fill us with hope each morning?
