Bible in a year: Genesis 41-42

Being a Christian whose life is self-sufficient, successful career, obey the word, so thanks for many people, glorifying God through life: who will not? However, what if for the sake of obedience to God and living testimony that will glorify Him, we may be despised people, lost jobs, hard-paced lives, even lives threatened? Will you stick with your faith?

Daniel ever faced with such situations. Skills and reputation to disturb the king's officials (verses 2-5). Therefore, they set cunning strategy to trap and kill Daniel in the lions' mouths malignant. King Darius the less alert and fascinated by the rhetoric of officials who lick (v. 8) into a trap by passing laws the death penalty for anyone who within a month to worship anything other than himself. What would we do if a Daniel? Stop praying for a month to save the career and life came as a sensible choice, right? However, he was uncompromising in terms of worship to God. He kept praying and praising God as usual (verse 11). He'll never replace the heart to something other than God.
