SUNDAY, JUNE 6, 2021

Soon Daniel distinguished himself above all the other presidents and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king plannedto appoint him over the whole kingdom. So the presidents and the satraps tried to find grounds for complaint against Daniel... But they could find no grounds for complaint or any corruption,because he wasfaithful... he continued to go to his house... and to get down on his knees three times a day to pray to his God and praise him, just as he had done previously.

— Daniel 6:3,4,10

We continue tostay in communityduring these uncertain times.
