Knowing Him Daily

24.October.2025

Obedience matters. Every choice we make carries weight, shaping the life we live and the legacy we leave. Today we’ll see how faith and trust in God made all the difference for someone who chose to follow Him fully.

Some stories make you pause because they show what it means to stand firm when everything around you shakes. Daniel’s story is one of those. It’s easy to have faith when life is calm, but Daniel’s faith held steady when obedience could have cost him his life.

When the decree went out that no one could pray to anyone except the king, Daniel didn’t hide or argue. He simply did what he had always done. “When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously” (Daniel 6:10).

That scripture speaks volumes. Daniel didn’t let fear dictate his faith. He kept praying, kept trusting, kept giving thanks, even when he knew the cost.

Faith isn’t loud, but it’s steady. It’s the kind that whispers, “God is able,” even when the lions are roaring (literally!).

And, God was able. When Daniel was thrown into the den, the world expected to find him torn apart by morning. Instead, the king rushed to the pit at dawn and found something miraculous: “When Daniel was taken up out of the den, no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23).

That’s what faith looks like, trust that stays steady in the dark and proves to be unshakable when the pressure mounts. Daniel’s obedience not only saved him, it became a legacy that echoed through generations. Even kings took notice of the God who delivers and preserves.

Our faith, like Daniel’s, speaks loudest when we refuse to compromise. And the same God who shut the lions’ mouths still stands beside those who honor Him today.

Faithful obedience leaves a lasting legacy. The choices we make today echo into tomorrow, shaping who we are and how God’s story is told through us. Tomorrow, we’ll meet another faith giant whose trust in God changed everything.

Tomorrow, we’ll meet Esther, a woman whose courage to stand for truth revealed that faith sometimes means risking everything for the sake of others.

If you’ve never given your life to Jesus, or if you’ve walked away, trying to do life your own way it’s not too late. He’s calling you back. He’s been waiting. Return to Him today. Surrender your plans, your pain, and your past. He’s ready to restore, renew, and realign you with your divine purpose.

~ Dear Heavenly Father ~

Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

Make today count and see you tomorrow.
