daily reading 8.3 (Daniel 6:6–9)
5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023
Our opening prayer this week:
Day by day, your mercies, Lord, attend me,bringing comfort to my anxious soul.Day by day, the blessings, Lord, you send medraw me nearer to my heav’nly goal.Love divine, beyond all mortal measure,brings to naught the burdens of my quest;Savior, lead me to the home I treasure,where at last I’ll find eternal rest.
Day by day, I know you will provide mestrength to serve and wisdom to obey;I will seek your loving will to guide meo’er the paths I struggle day by day.I will fear no evil of the morrow,I will trust in your enduring grace.Savior, help me bear life’s pain and sorrowtill in glory I behold your face.
Oh, what joy to know that you are near mewhen my burdens grow too great to bear;oh, what joy to know that you will hear mewhen I come, O Lord, to you in prayer.Day by day, no matter what betide me,you will hold me ever in your hand.Savior, with your presence here to guide me,I will reach at last the promised land. Amen.
Daniel 6:6–9
- So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said to him, "May King Darius live forever. 7 All the administrators of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an edict that for thirty days, anyone who petitions any god or man except you, the king, will be thrown into the lions' den.
- 8 Therefore, Your Majesty, establish the edict and sign the document so that, as a law of the Medes and Persians, it is irrevocable and cannot be changed."
- 9 So King Darius signed the written edict.
For yourself pray:
- That God gives you the heart to worship no God but him
For others pray:
- That God leads the legislatures above you to make good laws
A psalm to listen to, as time allows:
- Psalm 25 (YouTube, duet)
