ACAD – Giving Thanks: Daniel 6
At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”

Infinite possibilities
Where do you see yourself in five years? I’m sure you bought into the same short-term life-planning pit at some point or several points of your life too.
