At least not with the blunt truth? If we truly care about people in our life then we can’t be afraid to step up with the truth when the opportunity presents itself. As Christians we often seem to be afraid to boldly proclaim that we have the truth which answers all of life’s questions. If we truly believe in God and that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, and if we truly believe that the Bible is God’s Word, then why do respond with reservation instead of telling the world that we have absolute truth in our hands? In chapter 2, Daniel was faced with difficult questions. But even though he didn’t know the answer, he boldly proclaimed that he knew where to find it. God gives us answers to life just as true as the ones he spoke to Daniel thousands of years ago. Have confidence and boldness to depend on God’s Word.
