Welcome to Wisdom Walks. Thank you for tuning in today. This episode is short and sweet.

Here are five ways we can strengthen our faith and trust in God by applying the lessons we learned from reading Daniel.

1. Unwavering Conviction
2. Trust in God's sovereignty
3. Prayer and Communication with God: even when you are upset talk to God he will hear you and respond.
4. Bold Witnesses, even Jesus was persecuted for witnessing, but he did it anyway.
5. When faced with adversity, we often wait for the perfect moment to act. However, there may never be a perfect time, so it's best to take action now.

Please share this episode with friends, family, co-workers, etc.

The Thanksgiving spirit, let's take a moment to reflect on God's unconditional love. The Scriptures remind us that 'God is love' (1 John 4:8) and that His love knows no bounds. It is a love that embraces us in our brokenness, forgives our shortcomings, and offers us unending grace. In Romans 8:38-39, we find reassurance of God's unwavering love: 'For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'"

Here are a few key aspects to consider:

1. Humility and Recognizing Blessings: Gratitude cultivates humility by reminding us that everything we have is a gift from God. It shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have been graciously given. Recognizing and acknowledging these blessings opens our hearts to God's abundant provision and fosters a sense of awe and reverence.
2. Deepening Relationship with God: Expressing gratitude strengthens our connection with God. It is an act of worship acknowledging His faithfulness, goodness, and love. Gratitude allows us to approach God with a joyful and thankful heart, deepening our intimacy and trust in Him. As we cultivate gratitude, we become more attuned to God's presence and His work.
3. Shaping Attitude and Perspective: It helps us shift from a mindset of entitlement to one of appreciation. Gratitude enables us to see beyond our immediate circumstances and challenges, reminding us of the bigger picture and God's providential care. It fosters contentment, joy, and resilience, even in the midst of difficulties.
4. Strengthening Relationships with Others: Gratitude extends beyond our relationship with God and positively impacts our interactions with others. When we express gratitude to others, we acknowledge their contributions, kindness, and support. This fosters a culture of appreciation, strengthens bonds, and encourages a spirit of generosity and reciprocity.
5. Cultivating Compassion and Empathy: Gratitude opens our hearts to the needs and experiences of others. It helps us recognize the blessings we have received and inspires us to share them with others. Gratitude fuels acts of compassion and empathy, prompting us to extend love, support, and care to those around us.

Gratitude should not be confined to a single day but rather infused into our daily lives. In Colossians 3:17, we are reminded, 'And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.'

6. Lessons from Daniel's Faith

Please read this for your knowledge;

Daniel 6:10-22 ( I did leave out a few scriptures)

10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?”

The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”

17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 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?”

21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”
