Memory Verse:

"Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” --Luke 4:8

In today's story, Daniel faced a monumental test choosing between praying to God and facing death.  Daniel's choice put his life at great risk.  But Daniel knew that God is real.  He continued to pray and trust in God.  The outcome was that Daniel was protected and unharmed and King Darius praised God and issued a decree that everyone in his nation should fear and honor the God of Daniel.  God is real and He still saves today.  God sent Jesus to die on our behave and raised Jesus back to life on the 3rd day so we can have eternal life in Him.  Through out God's Word, He continues to show us He is in control and that we can trust Him.  

RESPOND: Lifted Out

 King Darius discovered God is real when he found Daniel still alive in the lions' den.  The king had Daniel lifted from the pit, and the king praised God for being the God who rescues and saves.

"Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” -Luke 4:8

May our children know that God is real that He is the living God, and that He has the power to save and rescue.  May our children see God's work in their lives.
