Sometimes doing the right thing costs you something.
Daniel knew the law had changed. Praying to God was now illegal. The penalty was the lion’s den.
He prayed anyway.
Righteousness does not mean life will be easy. It means choosing what is right even when the consequences are real.
This is the Breastplate of Righteousness.
Daniel 6:10-23
Armor of God: Breastplate of Righteousness – Ephesians 6:14
