Our Lesson’s Theme Verse is found in this passage of Scripture…
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.”

Conclusion:
Never forget folks, God is faithful!
And we need to remember that our day to day testimony for the Lord, whether it be at home, or at work, or at play, may be the only
‘truth’ people will ever see or hear about the great and mighty God that has a divine plan for all mankind and wants them to know just how must He truly loves them today!
Oh, dear child of God…be faithful to the God who has saved you today! Trust Him in every situation, whether that situation be good or whether it be bad, and as Daniel of old, and as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego of old all determined in their hearts,
‘Do right…till the stars fall from the heavens…do right!’,
“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
