Do what's right by God's Word/He'll take care of you

IDaniel had been faithful to God in a foreign land since he'd been brought there in captivity. God was able to do great &ighty miracles through Daniel because of his faithfulness!!
You gotta love the jealous haters! They're everywhere! Here's Daniel, not even one of them, getting all the promotions & perks that go with it & to top it all off they are being told that they should be more like him!! What an outrage!!! You can bet he wasn't well like nor was he a miner of the popular group! Everybody was sick to death of Mr Goody two shoes Daniel!! So, the it begins!! We will keep spies on him round the clock & catch him doing something wrong & then tell the King about ole Perfect Daniel then!! This plan failed, as Daniel proved faithful & trustworthy in all he did. However, Daniel has this religion thing going on & it's not the religion of our land! This is how we can bring him down! Yeah, know some people like that? Maybe you work with them now or did in the past. Ever had a group that you knew was plotting behind your back on ways to hurt you? Yeah, they are probably descendants of this very group (lol). So, they plotted & devised a perfect plan for entrapment! Have the king sign a paper saying for the next 30 days no one can now to pray or worship any god except for you, your majesty, our greatest & most wonderful king ever.
Can I just shake this dumb dumb king? Way to be so stuck on yourself, first of all, & secondly, when people come to you , presenting something that promises all honor to you while lavishly bathing you in compliments & flattery; you can be certain they are up to something & it's not something good! However, this dummy ate it up & signed the decree .
When Daniel is caught in his foolish decree, the king is distraught, but he has signed it into law & is now bound by a law he set in motion. He searched for a loop hole, but there wasn't one. So, how about think things through very carefully before you set them in motion; if you don't, someone you care deep about could be destroyed by your actions! He had to order Daniels arrest & for him to be thrown in the lions den which was certain death. The king was terribly distraught. He hated this & yet he had caused it & was now powerless to stop the very thing he had set in motion. Again, I caution you (& me) to be very careful about what you set in motion (rumors, lies, gossip, revenge, hatred .....) it has a way of making a u turn & coming back to bite you in the butt!
The king is unable to sleep filled with anxiety, regret , turmoil & guilt! As soon as dawn breaks . He runs to the lions den @ calls to Daniel asking if his God has been able to save him!! And as surely as I writing this note, God had made a way!! Daniel answered the king with a testimony that honored God & glorified Him alone! Then the king ordered those jealous haters who had cooked this thin up to start with, to be thrown in the lions den & their families. Again, careful what you set in motion & do to others cause God tends to turn the tables & the bad thing you tried to make happen or wishes for someone else comes to you!!
So, don't even pay no mind to those jealous hating plotters! Keep doing what's right & honor & glorify the Lord. If you mess up, be man enough, or woman enough to go to whoever you need to & say look, I messed this up. I didn't do it intentionally or to cause a problem. Please forgive me & give me the opportunity to fix it. God gets great honor from that! When you or I are doing our best to honor Him......He WILL have your back!!
