Kings and Kingdoms - Experiencing Exile
(Daniel 1)
Living faithfully as a Christian in a world that often opposes God can feel isolating, but Daniel 1 reminds us that God is sovereign, even in exile. Rather than assimilating into the culture or separating from it entirely, Daniel and his friends model a third way—remaining a faithful presence by walking in wisdom and obedience. This passage challenges us to trust God’s plan, seek His guidance in daily decisions, and engage the world with kindness while staying firm in our faith.
