Text: Daniel 6

Daniel distinguished himself as a leader of men, a man worthy of respect.  Yet he had his detractors who sought to bring him harm.  Their plans were foiled because God’s hand of favor was on Daniel.  In the end, God turned the tactics of Daniel’s opponents against them and Daniel was exalted.   

This chapter encourages us to live by a high standard of ethics, to establish a reputation that is above reproach.  It reminds us to fear God and not man, to trust God’s protection and provision.  Concern yourself with God’s pleasure and not man’s approval and see where He takes you.
