Living For God, Even When..., Part 1

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Living For God, Even When..., Part 1 Series: Daniel: Devoted Scripture: Daniel 6:1-11 Episode: 1296

In Daniel 6:1–11, King Darius appoints Daniel as one of three top administrators, quickly recognizing his exceptional qualities and planning to set him over the entire kingdom. Out of jealousy, the other officials plot against Daniel but can find no fault in him—he is trustworthy and blameless. Knowing that Daniel is devoted to prayer, they convince the king to issue a decree forbidding anyone from praying to any god or man except the king for 30 days. Despite the law, Daniel remains faithful, continuing to pray three times a day with his windows open toward Jerusalem. Key themes include faithfulness under pressure, jealousy and persecution, and unyielding devotion to God.
