DANIEL 6

7 We are all in agreement—we administrators, officials, high officers, advisers, and governors—that the king should make a law that will be strictly enforced. Give orders that for the next thirty days any person who prays to anyone, divine or human—except to you, Your Majesty—will be thrown into the den of lions.

8 And now, Your Majesty, issue and sign this law so it cannot be changed, an official law of the Medes and Persians that cannot be revoked."
9 So King Darius signed the law.

11 Then the officials went together to Daniel's house and found him praying and asking for God's help.

13 Then they told the king, "That man Daniel, one of the captives from Judah, is ignoring you and your law. He still prays to his God three times a day."

22 My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty."

27 He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions."

JOHN 3:16

16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

How did Daniel's life of integrity affect others?

Hints:
Daniel 6:25-26
25 Then King Darius sent this message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world: "Peace and prosperity to you!
26"I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel.
For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.

Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Answer:

Daniel was a man of integrity. This quality influenced people and nations. In Daniel 6:25-26, King Darius sent a message to the people of every race and nation and language throughout the world. He told them to respect and fear Daniel’s God, the living God whose kingdom will never be destroyed and who performs miracles. Daniel’s integrity had a ripple effect. In the same way, our integrity can also influence the people around us. Remember, God will enable you to live a life of integrity.

How can we learn from Daniel how to do what is right?

Hints:
Daniel 1:82
8 But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.
Timothy 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Answer:
In Daniel 1:8, we read that, "Daniel was determined not to defile himself." We make decisions on what we believe is right. That’s why it is important to know what we believe and why we believe it. You can know what to believe by reading the Bible. The Bible says that "all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right" (2 Timothy 3:16).
