Magic tricks and illusions have a way of sparking wonder and curiosity. But long before today’s magicians, Daniel and his friends stood out during the Babylonian exile. They were wiser than the magicians and astrologers of their time because they looked to God for wisdom. Through their brave actions and wise choices, they showed God’s power to everyone around them—no tricks needed! In this 4-week series, our families will learn that God helps us choose wisely, God is ready to rescue us, God’s words show us what to do, and our courage can help others see God.
“For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods.”
— 1 Chronicles 16:25 (NIV)
