Daniel has a fascinating vision of four beasts representing four kings and their kingdoms.

Daniel is most famous for his deliverance from a den of lions. He wasn’t about to change his stripes regardless of the cost. And courage set the stage for a remarkable act of deliverance.

Daniel had the unenviable job of telling a king that his reign was about to end.

In Daniel, we see a king that is quite pleased with his own accomplishments. But God is about to bring him to his knees.

Daniel had three close friends who endured a trial few of us could imagine today.

Daniel was a faithful man who was about to be tested. He had an important decision to make that was literally life altering and life threatening.

God used Daniel’s obedience to bring the most powerful man in the world to his knees.

Daniel was a man who was put in an impossible situation. The king of Babylon tried to brainwash him into thinking that his Jewish roots, and commitment to God, were no longer important.

We live in a broken and hurting world where we are bombarded with a consistent need for strength. That strength is made readily available through a relationship with God by faith in Jesus Christ.

All of us go through seasons of deep loneliness. And that goes to the question: God, if you care, why have you left me alone?
