Daniel’s Worship of God vs Satan’s Subtle Attack

 

Daniel’s Worship of God vs Satan’s Subtle Attack

Daniel 6:10 When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house and, three times a day, knelt down before his God in prayer and thanksgiving, for this was his custom.

Daniel 6:5 Then the men said to him, “We will find no grounds to accuse this Daniel except in matters relating to the law of his God.”

Daniel 6:7 Then the chief ministers, commanders, governors, counselors, and governors of the kingdom consulted among themselves, and they decided that the king should establish a decree, a strict prohibition, that for thirty days anyone who asks anything from any god or man other than the king, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.
