DANIEL 6: 1-28
No one lives for God without being persecuted. No one lives for God without being misunderstood and criticized. A simple formula for a successful Christian life is: (1) Dedication, (2) Devotion, (3) Discipline, (4) Determination. Daniel had all these.
Daniels disposition (verse 1-5)
a. Preference (verse 1-3). He was chosen above others because of his excellent spirit. He pleased God.
b. Perfection 9verse 4,5). Not sinless perfection-he pleased God in his living (Matthew 5:48)
His difficulty (verse 6-9)
a. The scheme. If anyone obeyed or served any other king, he would come to all who live for God (2 Timothy 3:12).
b. The signing. The king, not fully understanding the motive behind the plan, signed his name. The order could not be changed. Stop praying or face the lions? What a choice. I just want to water your apetite. Check out subsequent series on Daniel for more on this amazing man of God.
