"Daniel placed his unequivocal trust in the God who had allowed the exile. He recognized that God had judged his people for their idolatry, and he turned his heart toward the true God and placed his life in his hands. It's very much like what the apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9: “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ.” Everything is husks and ashes next to a living relationship with God through Christ. This is true for ourselves and for the people who are in our lives: family, co-workers, classmates, neighbors. That’s what matters most."
