Living a life dedicated to God.

When we decide to give our life to Jesus Christ, it does not mean that our life will be much easier, but it is certain that God watches over us, accompanies us in every step and blessings will abound.
It seemed good to Darius to appoint one hundred and twenty satraps over the kingdom, who should govern the whole kingdom. 2 And over them three governors, of whom Daniel was first, to whom these satraps should give an account, so that the king would not be harmed. 3 But Daniel himself was superior to these satraps and governors, because a superior spirit was in him; and the king thought to put him over the whole kingdom. 4 Then the governors and satraps sought occasion to accuse Daniel in matters related to the kingdom; but they could not find any occasion or fault, because he was faithful, and no vice or fault was found in him. 5 Then those men said, We will not find any occasion to accuse this Daniel, if we do not find it against him concerning the law of his God. 6 Then these governors and satraps gathered together before the king and said to him, "King Darius, live forever! 7 All the governors of the kingdom, magistrates, satraps, princes, and captains have taken counsel together that you should issue a royal decree and confirm it, that anyone who within thirty days makes a petition to any god or man except you, O king, shall be cast into the lions' den. 8 Now, O king, confirm the decree and sign it, so that it cannot be revoked, according to the law of Media and Persia, which cannot be repealed." 9 So King Darius signed the decree and the ban. 10 When Daniel learned that the decree had been signed, he went into his house and, with his upper chamber windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did before. 11 Then the men gathered together and found Daniel praying and supplicating before his God. 12 Then they came to the king and told him about the king's decree: "Have you not signed a decree that anyone who prays to any god or man within thirty days except you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions' den?" The king answered and said, "It is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persia, which cannot be repealed." 13 Then they answered and said before the king, "Daniel, who is from the children of the captivity of Judah, does not respect you, O king, nor obey the decree that you signed, but makes his petition three times a day." 14 When the king heard of it, it grieved him greatly, and he resolved to release Daniel; and he worked until the going down of the sun to release him. 15 But the men stood around the king and said to him, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persia that no decree or ordinance which the king confirms can be repealed." 16 Then the king gave orders, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. And the king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you." 17 Then a stone was brought and placed on the door of the den, and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signet rings of his princes, so that the agreement concerning Daniel would not be changed. 18 Then the king went to his palace and lay fasting; no musical instruments were brought before him, and his sleep failed him. 19 So the king rose early in the morning and hurried to the lions' den. 20 Then he went to the den and called out to Daniel in a sad voice, and said to him, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?" 21 Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever. 22 My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me; for I was found innocent in his sight; and in your sight, O king, I have done no wrong." 23 Then the king rejoiced greatly for him, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. And Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury was found on him, because he trusted in his God. 24 Then the king gave the order, and the men who had accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions' den, they, their sons, and their wives. and they had not yet reached the bottom of the den when the lions seized them and broke all their bones.
25 Then King Darius wrote to all peoples, nations, and languages who live throughout the earth: Peace be multiplied to you. 26 This ordinance is laid down from me: That throughout all the dominion of my kingdom all men should fear and tremble at the presence of the God of Daniel; for he is the living God and remains for all ages, and his kingdom will never be destroyed, and his dominion will endure to the end. 27 He saves and rescues, and performs signs and wonders in heaven and on earth; he has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 And this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and during the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
