Faithful Through and Through
Daniel 6:1-11
Skip Heitzig
| Daniel 6 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom; |
| 2 | and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss. |
| 3 | Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. |
| 4 | So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him. |
| 5 | Then these men said, "We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God." |
| 6 | So these governors and satraps thronged before the king, and said thus to him: "King Darius, live forever! |
| 7 | "All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. |
| 8 | "Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter." |
| 9 | Therefore King Darius signed the written decree. |
| 10 | Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days. |
| 11 | Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. |
