Let us therefore strive to enter that rest,so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.”

  • Did Daniel know what the consequence was before he got down on his knees?
  • Still, what did he do?
  • He gave thanks to God despite his circumstances. How do you react when the world seems to be crashing in on you?!
  • Are you ever afraid to speak/do God’s truth because you fear the consequences? What does Daniel’s life show you about the action you can take?
  • In this story, who ultimately has victory?
  • In the end, even King Darius declares the glories of the living God! What does that reveal to you about what God can reveal to the world if you live a life that honors Him?
