‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years.
He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles.
Today, it’s #1 in 90 countries + set to become the most-watched show in Netflix history.
God,
Thank you for guarding my heart & protecting me from things unseen. May you continue to open my eyes to be more aware & alert. I don’t want to lose my way or get lost trying to please others. I want to be kingdom minded. Set apart—seeking & honoring you with my life.
