To think about prior to the Sunday School Adult Lesson for 9/23
God is faithful to His word. He blessed His people with a land, but He
also exiled them from it on account of their wicked hearts, just as He
had said. Yet God continued to sustain the Israelites, showing Himself
to be the one true God even in a foreign land. From kings, fire, and Coila exists to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ
lions, the Lord preserved His servants and demonstrated His glory and
power. And when the time of their exile was completed, He brought
them home to worship Him with a renewed faith

When we find our feet forcibly planted in the soil of an anti-God, anti-
Christian culture, it is vitally important for our hearts to be drawn to
God and our minds immersed in His Word. The apostle Paul told the
early Christians, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom. 12:2). One of the
best examples of such non-conformity comes from the Book of
Daniel, from the story of four Hebrew teenagers who were plucked
from their country and taken captive to the evil empire of Babylon.

We are inspired by the courage and faithfulness of Daniel and his

friends. Because they remained true to their identity as God’s chosen
people and because they were willing to demonstrate their trust in
God through their actions, they provided a testimony to God’s power
and goodness while in exile. As believers, we are sojourners and
exiles in this world, redeemed by the blood of Jesus and called to be a
testimony to His grace by remaining true to our identity in Christ.
