Today’s Feast
Sep. 14, 2014- Daniel 6
Daniel And The Lions' Den
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!
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. Don’t worry about tomorrow (see Matthew
6:34) trust Jesus and deal
with the problems and blessings at hand today.
