Danielle in the Lion's Den: A Devotional for Women in the Workplace
()
About this ebook
If you are a woman who works outside of the home in an environment that you cannot control, and you identify yourself as a Christian, YOU are Danielle!
Every day, millions of Christian women, or Danielles, enter into the workplace, only to find themselves surrounded by perils that threaten their job security and career advancement as well as their mental and emotional well-being. The godless, secular, and often hostile workplace is filled with many challenges for Danielles. Some coworkers question their decisions and actions, simply because they are women. Other coworkers antagonize and harass them because they make it no secret that they are Christians – God’s representatives. Worse, there are also coworkers who rise up and plot against them, seeking their demise... just because.
In order to thrive as Christian women in today’s secular workplace, Danielles must learn not only how to deal with but how to rise above the challenges that they face with grace and godliness. Fortunately, Danielles’ ultimate Employer left her with a biblical model for how to navigate the workplace: the biblical story of Daniel. Daniel was taken away to a godless land, and even though he was faced with threats and great peril – including being thrown into the lion’s den – he refused to compromise his faith in God. Daniel’s faith and the choices that he made while in a godless environment provide a solid framework for how Danielle should respond to challenges that she faces in the workplace – her own lion’s den!
This daily devotional allows Danielles in every phase of their careers to glean lessons of faith, wisdom, and purpose from real stories of other Danielles who have gone before them. In the end, Danielles realize that because of their relationship with God and their fierce dependence on Him and His faithfulness, they are destined to win... even in the lion’s den!
