Theme of the Month: The Secrets of Victory
Sat, 27 August

“The way of the Lord is strength to the upright.” (Prov. 10:29).

Then Daniel’s enemies came before the king and said: “We have never seen such a wonderful king as you; so we want people to pray to you only and not to any other God for thirty days. Please sign this decree to that effect.”

The king was much flattered. “I am such a good king,” he thought “these people love me so much, they want to pray to me,” and without really thinking the matter out, he signed the decree. He had no intension of doing any evil against Daniel, but he loved flattery, and these cunning crafty counsellors had blinded him. It is the same in our own time. Many rulers blinded by flattery, sign documents and frame rules that are not for their country’s good. Daniel might have said, “I should not pray openly now,” and might have commanded the servants to close all the doors and windows. Instead, without fear or complaint, he opened wide his windows, and kneeling down gave thanks to God as he had done before. What a faith!

After forty-three years of divine training, Daniel was now facing his final test. The decree was signed; to pray to anyone but king Darius for the next thirty days meant being cast into a den of lions. Here we find the whole kingdom against Daniel. He stood as one man alone without a single person to help him. He did not seek help from man, but trusted in God only.
