Today Pastor Paul continues the summer series on the book of Daniel. His Talk on The Lions' Den is from Daniel 6. In comparison to chapter 3, now Daniel is persecuted. He refuses to pray to and worship the king as a god. Like his friends earlier, he is sentenced to death and thrown into the lion's den. God delivers Daniel from the beasts, and like his friends, the king then exalts Daniel and praises his God. Daniel can face the consequences of being faithful to God because he has felt God's love and experienced God's faithfulness to him first. If people doubt God's faithfulness because of circumstances, look to the cross. Being faithful includes making prayer a priority.

Key verse: So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” (Daniel 6:16)
