Remarks
Horsea
I. Daniel the Prime Minister of the
Medo Persian Empire (w. I -It).
DunlH's sterling worth brought him
o toe front and kept him there. 1 lie
new kitiK whs qoiCI 10 niseern ma
merits nnd to tVa them recognition by
plnelitK blm at the head of affMrs In
Is kingdom.
II. An Occasion Sought Against
Daniel (vv. 4-9). n
(1) The tteason of Envy. To
five iiiitt foreigner piaeeti over mem
sroaaed lite Jealousy of the pres
idents and princes of the empire, so
hey set about to have him removed.
The presence of envy shows Inferior
ty. One never envies those below
him It Is hard to forgive those WM
have outstripped us and left us be
hind In the nice of life.
(2) The Failure (v. 4). Daniel's of
ficial record was blameless. Not even
su error could be found of which they
mid accuse him. Thouuh he was
without fault be had to suffer. Those
who excel In nry line are sure to suf
fer in some way. It Is true in" busi
ii MM, the home, the school, polities and
rilgton.
(8) The Wicked Pint (vv. 5-0). Not
iciiiK auie to nii't any lauit. tne.v
rumped up a charge against him on
he ground of his foreign religion.
Khey were not enreful about the met li
st employed. Just o their end was at-
alned.
III. Daniel's Noble Confession (vv.
10-18). ThouRh Daniel knew that the
wicked decree wns signed, he knelt
before God three times n day as usual.
He went qntetly about his affairs, at
tended to his regular devotions, be
cause he trusted uoti. mere is Hi-
ways a marked silence about hero
am. Weak men bluster, but strong
men have little to sny. ianiei con
tinued his usual habit of prayer, even
though It was a violation of the civil
law. because he knew that dial's law
was first. When the laws of eartlf
conflict with the laws of henven there
is but one thing to do ; that Is. to obey
God rather than man.
IV. The Foolish Decree Executed.
(v. 14-17). The king was greatly ili
pleased with himself (v. 14) and dili
gently sought to deliver Daniel, but
he was helpless (v. 15). The proud
ruler was u slave. Laws which ehnngn
not are Mif -condemnatory, foolish,
positively wicked. The king was
veak for tear of others, which Is utter
wickedness. Daniel was cast Into the
den of lions (v. Ill) and u double seal
placed upon the Sen (v. 17). They
were not content with the king's seal
alone, which shows that one rascal
will not trust another. The king's
words, "Thy dod, whom thou serves!
continually, he will deliver thee," to
Daniel were a poor excuse, but they
were the best that he could offer to
his conscience.
V. Daniel Delivered (vv. 18-2.1).
(1) The King's Sleepless Night (v.
IS). Doubtless Daniel was more com
fortable In the den of lions than the
king In 1:1s palace His quietude is a
plure of the safety and peace which
are ine portion oi mosp wno trusi
dod and do his will. This Is u sample
of what fnlth can do. "Thou wilt
keep him In perfect pence whose mind
!s stayed on thee, because he trusteth
thee."
(2) The King's Question (v. 20). In
the morning the king called to Daniel
in the den of lions saying, 'Ts thy doil
able?" This is always the question of
the unbelieving heart. The believing
heart says, "Our God is able."
(3) Daniel's Answer (v. 22). "My
God has sent his angel." Angels are
God's ministering spirits. "The angel
of the Lord encaiupeth rouud about
them that fear hltn, and dellvereth
them." (Psalms 34 :7.) Many times uo
doubt our lives are preserved because
we are guarded by God's angels. Not
even a sparrow falls to the ground
without the Father, and the very hairs
of our heads are numbered, so we
ought to expect the mouths of the
lions to be abut against us.
(4) Daniel Removed From the Den
(v. 23). There was no manner of hurt
upon him. The reason was that "he
believed in his God." The same rea
son is why the garments and hair of
bis companions were not even singed.
VI. Doom of Daniel's Accusers (v.
24). They were cast Into the den of
lions "and the lions had the mastery
of them, and brake all their boues in
pieces or ever they came at the bot
tom of the den."
Daniel's God ts Be Feared
VII. Darius' Decree (vv. 25-27). He
decreed that In all parts of his king
dom men of all peoples and tongues
should tremble and fear before the
God of Daniel.
VIII. Daniel's Prosperity (v. 28).
Though Daniel's enemies perish, be
Cues higher and higher in the king
dom, even continuing Into the reign of
Cyrus. In all our trials and testings
irs should not be moved, for there Is
righteous nnd Just -dod to heaved
and nothing can occur without bliu.
Man's schemes shall even continue ts
praise him.
