At my local church, we have been doing a study of the book of Daniel, since the beginning of the year. Daniel, a young Jew taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar the great Babylonian King, together with his three friends; Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, find themselves in a foreign land and separated from the land of their ancestry, a land of promise. And they shall dwell in captivity probably for the rest of their lives.
There is something so repugnant to the world about a believer holding fast to God in face of calamity and evil.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:6

You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven,The heaven of heavens, with all their host,The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them,And You preserve them all.The host of heaven worships You. Nehemiah 9:6
