A humble walk with God is a key factor enabling us to stand when the world is pressuring us to violate our faith. We can take heart as we think of Daniel, who was willing to face the lions' den rather than being disloyal to God, and who was miraculously rescued by the God who saves.
Acting with and celebrating mercy, constant love, kindness and faithfulness is expected by God because it opens us up to the free, full and forever life, and prepares others for placing their faith in Jesus … and because it is simply the right thing to do in an upside down world!
Whatever we do, do it all for the glory of God, the benefit of yourself and your family, and to bless your neighbours and better our world.
