Hello- thanks for the question. I don;t think you sounded too preachy in this post but I believe you should have tied it all together.

You could have done this...
"While sitting here Today I am enjoying a hot cup of Catahoula coffee called Butkus.
They are a local company here in California and reflecting on these Bible verses- Daniel chapter 6. versus 1-3.
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom as an hundred and twenty thousand princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2 And over these three presidents; of whom David was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3 Then this Daniel was preferred
above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Daniel showed his excellent spirit. Let us do the same everyday within or without the lions den.

You had two different topics in this post but no bridge to connect the two. When you were enjoying your coffee were you thinking about the bible verses you shared? If so, then above is how I would have posted it.
