Faith like Daniel

Today for our Cubbies lesson we learned about Daniel. After reading the lesson to the girls we read Daniel 6 together from our Bible. I love that they really understand and question things now. They listened to the entire chapter very intently and really took it all in. We talked about the men who had tricked King Darius, the faith Daniel had to openly pray to God, the heart of the King after God has saved Daniel from the lions, and the tragedy the men and their families went through becuase of what they had done to Daniel.

We talked about what we would have done in each of those situations and the girls asked really intelligent questions and showed great faith in their responses. They both said they would have prayed to God just like Daniel becuase he is always there to listen to them and helps them when they are feeling scared. When I asked them what they would have done if they had been thrown into the lions den, they both exclaimed they would start praying right away becuase they would have been scared. I can only hope this is a glimpse of the faith they will have as they continue to grow and mature in their relationship with Christ. There is something so special about the faith and trust of a child and I feel so blessed to be able to witness that. Praise the Lord for his love and saving grace!!!
