Scripture Union Daily Guide 10th November 2024 Outline:
In today’s passage, king Darius, realizing that he had acted unwittingly, sought desperately to rescue Daniel but found this impossible because of the law of Medes and Persians which could not be altered. Notice his effort in v.I4 and what he said in v.ibb. Daniel’s God was equal to the task! Indeed, nobody can battle with the Lord. See how Psalm n8:8,9 is true here. What the king did in vs.I&-20 shows the impact of Daniel’s life on him.
Quietly, God was using Daniel to slowly penetrate the king’s life -mourning, fasting, and praying all night for Daniel’s deliverance and hurrying early to the den confirmed his faith in Daniel’s God. See his response (v.23), further action (v.e4),this writing and decree (vs.25,26a) and final solemn declaration (vs.26b,27). Why are there many Christians in public offices today, yet evil and wickedness continue to prevail?
Someone has said, “Loyalty pays the way to royalty”. See the outworking of this for Daniel in v.28. Every Christian in the church, community or public office is meant to promote God’s glory where he/she is. What about you?

Heeding God’s command,

Daring not to stand,

And shout for Daniel’s Band.
