Daniel And The Lions' Den

Today’s Feast Sep. 14, 2014- Daniel 6 Daniel And The Lions' Den clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily.  We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.  Gods Not Dead! “1 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”  1 Corinthians 16:13 Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 6; “The malice of Daniel's enemies. (1-5) His constancy in prayer. (6-10) He is cast into the lion's den.(11-17) His miraculous preservation. (18-24) The decree of Darius. (25-28) Verses 1-5 We notice to the glory of God, that though Daniel was now very old, yet he was able for business, and had continued faithful to his religion. It is for the glory of God, when those who profess religion, conduct themselves so that their most watchful enemies may find no occasion for blaming them, save only in the matters of their God, in which they walk according to their consciences. Verses 6-10 To forbid prayer for thirty days, is, for so long, to rob God of all the tribute he has from man, and to rob man of all the comfort he has in God... To Christ we must turn our eyes. Thither let the Christian look, thither let him pray, in this land of his captivity. Verses 11-17 It is no new thing for what is done faithfully, in conscience toward God, to be misrepresented as done obstinately, and in contempt of the civil powers… We cannot place full confidence even in men whom we faithfully serve; but believers may, in all cases, be sure of the Divine favour and consolation. Verses 18-24 The best way to have a good night, is to keep a good conscience… The short triumph of the wicked will end in their ruin. Verses 25-28 If we live in the fear of God, and walk according to that rule, peace shall be upon us…  May we be doers, as well as believers of his word, least at the last we should be found to have deceived ourselves?” - Matthew Henry Concise.  Because King Darius made a bad decree; (see Daniel 6:25-28) God worked a miracle and the king believed and gave God the glory; “26 I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. 27 He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions." 28 So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.” Daniel 6:26-28 English Standard Version (ESV).  Because Daniel stood fast in his faith (see Acts 27:23) God sent an angel to keep the lions from eating him. “1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” Philippians 2:1-2 ESV.
