1. Learn Daniel's sincerity We can see Daniel's sincerity and sincerity through the text.
It is said that [he had a keen heart], and in verse 4 it is said that [he found no fault, no fault, he was faithful and found no fault, no fault]. There are many people in a hurry, but Daniel was not such an unclean person.
He was a clean and sincere person. This is the life of a noble believer.

2. Learn the faith that passed through terrible adversity through prayer The people who framed Daniel knew that they could not get rid of Daniel through other problems, so they decided to remove Daniel because of the faith problem. Daniel was aware of this fact, but he continued his prayer life toward God, which was forbidden in the king's decree. We can learn valuable things from this fact. It is said that persecution will follow those who have true faith.

3. Learn to pray through the window that opens toward Jerusalem. This attitude is a good indication of Daniel's religious heart. His heart was always open to Jerusalem, where the temple is located. In other words, Daniel's heart was always open to God. means there is Here is the secret of Daniel Lee's victory in Shin-ah's struggle. Daniel was in a position to enjoy the glory, but he always wanted to open his heart to God and have fellowship with God.

Also, at this time, they are digging a trap to catch Daniel, but they do not care and pray more openly. that's done
4. Learn to be grateful in the face of adversity Daniel prayed [even though he knew that the letter was stamped] and was thankful to God even though there was a danger in the lions' den. In a situation where he had to suffer from deep agony, instead of giving thanks to God, Daniel's great point was. Gratitude in times of adversity This is something only believers can do.
5. We see the hand of God's power to protect the praying saints.
Daniel 6:22 shows that an angel was sent to protect Daniel, who was thrown into the lions' den, and sealed the lion's mouth so that he could not harm him. That's it. The saints are always safe because they are in God's hands.
In Job 5:18,19, it says, "God makes you sick, and binds you up, and wounds you, and then heals you with His hands; He saves you from six afflictions, and does not allow seven kinds of trouble to come upon you."
The God who saved Daniel by closing the mouths of the lions shuts the mouths of all our enemies, and the God who protected Daniel lives and protects us.
The time we live in is a time of trial and adversity, and it is difficult to keep our faith. However, in the midst of it, we must live clean and faithfully to solve all adversity through prayer.
Also, even if you live in the midst of complexity, you can win only if you live a life of constant fellowship.
I can be thankful for any adversity, believe that God is with Daniel and gold is with me, and I hope you will always be filled with faith.
