Hey what's up kids, Ryan here, for my very first blog on the website. Pretty stoked! Well, as you guys all know we are currently studying the book of Daniel. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Daniel is such rad book, for so many different reasons. First and most importantly, Daniel gives a look of how great God is. Communicated through vivid dreams, God shows us that he truly is in control of everything and he gives us a brief view of what is to come in the near future.

Second, Daniel is book that gives us stories of extreme faith, courage, and perseverance. Daniel himself was blessed with the ability to interpret dreams, but Daniel was not a random pick by God. Instead, Daniel was a faithful servant of God and God knew that he would be able to withstand the constant tests of faith while serving in the Babylonian kingdom. Daniel hung out with some pretty cool guys as well. His friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; also known as shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego, were also very faithful to our God in heaven and they showed their faith even when threatened with death, as we will see this coming Sunday in chapter 3.

Well kids, have a great week, be safe, and remember to pray for wisdom like Daniel and remain in God's word daily. See you wednesday homies!
