Daniel, part 1

Daniel is one of the outstanding examples in the Bible of a faithful follower of the Lord. When he was a teenager, his people in the land of Judah were defeated by the Babylonians and Daniel, along with others, was taken to Babylon to serve King Nebuchadnezzar. Throughout his life, from one king to the next, Daniel remained faithful to the Lord in spite of the opposition he faced. The biblical account of Daniel being thrown in the lions’ den is a great picture of God’s deliverance of His faithful servant. Daniel’s example encourages us not to quit when we face opposition for our commitment to Christ.
