"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"—Daniel 6:10

May the harassed, tempted, and persecuted among us learn to keep a clean conscience in the midst of impurities, as Daniel did; to preserve, like him, faith and fellowship with the faithful and true God, though living among strangers and foreigners, profane in all their thoughts and habits; and to hold the statutes and commandments of the LORD as more to be desired than wealth or honor—yea, dearer to you, as Daniel accounted them, than even life itself! So shall you honor God, and glorify Christ, and bless and praise His precious Name in a way in which nothing else but decision of character can possibly lead you to do.

God grant us all to have Christ for a Savior, and to live to His praise.

C.H.Spurgeon
