God gave us a wonderful identity. It is unique. It is an identity that brings blessing. But our God given and blessed identity has been stolen. In identity theft, someone steals part of your life and uses it for his own purposes with no regard to the consequences to the quality of your life. Put another way, Satan wants to live your life.
While the world is in an uproar, we need to be reminded that God is in control. He sits on the throne of judgment and will bring justice to evil events and kingdoms. It is, therefore, not our job to bring justice, but to be faithful to Jesus no matter how we are tested and opposed.

In today’s story, God humbled an arrogant king by equipping Daniel to interpret God’s message. We, too, have the privilege of equipping ourselves to be interpreters of God’s message. May we deliver the message, no matter how difficult or unpopular.

In the face of imminent death, Daniel places total trust in God. He is dependent on God to do what ONLY God could do. Pleading for mercy, God delivers in a big way. Death has a way of forcing us to the only source of hope - God alone.

The Book of Daniel Overview Handout (pdf)
The church has always valued and honored “nice girls.” But God is calling women to be dangerous. We will take a quick tour of the Bible and look as some “dangerous women?” A dangerous woman is a woman who shows up with everything she is and joins the battle against whatever opposes the work of God in our world.
