Being distinguished

Daniel 6: 3 – 5

“Then this Daniel was distinguished (preferred) above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the King thought to set him over the whole realm.

Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

Then said these men, we shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”

The men proceeded to ask King Darius to establish a decree which would last for the next 30 days. They went to Daniel and found him praying as usual. This resulted in him being thrown into the lion’s den. Daniel came out of the lion’s den unscathed. King Darius writing to all people, nations, and language:

Verse 26 - 27 

“I make a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

He delivers and rescues and works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”

This is the same God that we serve and He can do exceedingly, abundantly, above, more than………we can think or imagine.
