Thrive | Part 5 | The key to thriving is the same, trust and obey God

Daniel 6:1-28

Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”   Daniel 6:5 (NIV)

Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. Daniel 6:10-11 (NIV)

 “I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.  “For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.   Daniel 6:26 (NIV)

1. Deliverance from God, now or at another time

The key to thriving is the same, trust and obey God
