SIMON PETER’S “PILGRIM’S PROGRESS”
The First Letter of Peter (Series 1)

08/08/2026

SIMON PETER’S “PILGRIM’S PROGRESS”
The First Letter of Peter (Series 1)

(Scripture Portions: 1 Peter 1:1-2; Acts 2:14, 22-36)
The First Letter of Peter has a divinely-inspired message for Christians of every time and place – so these ten studies in First Peter are God’s message to us today. The apostle Peter was the writer of this letter, which is known as the letter of hope – just as John’s letters are the letters of love and James’ letter is the letter of faith. If you study First Peter you will become well-grounded in the great doctrines of the faith, gain a new assurance about spiritual realities, be well taught in the truth of God, be impressed with the grandeur of God and be thrilled with Peter’s majestic language. Notice how the letter begins:

1. ‘PETER’. The writer starts by giving his name, as was the custom in those days. He is perhaps the best-loved of the disciples; he lived in Bethsaida and Capernaum, he was married, a fisherman, and his brother Andrew introduced him to the Lord Jesus (John 1:40-41). By temperament he was impulsive and affectionate. He made some great confessions concerning the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 16:16-17; John 6:68-69); he grieved the Lord by his denial (Luke 22:54-62), though he was wonderfully restored and recommissioned (John 21:15-17); and he was empowered on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).
2. ‘AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST’. An apostle is ‘a sent one’ – one who is sent by the Lord and not self-appointed – look up John 15:16, and an ambassador of Christ – look up 2 Corinthians 5:20.

Peter now gives a description of the people to whom he is writing (verses 1 and 2). Underline the seven key-words in this description. The words (re-arranged) are: elect, foreknowledge, blood, sanctifying, obedience, strangers, scattered. As Christians we may ask: When and where did the work of grace begin? The answer is: in the heart of God (verse 2), away back in eternity, for the salvation of a sinner is the sovereign work of God.

1. Away back in Eternity, before Time or Creation, we were ‘ELECT(ED)’ and chosen by God.
Verse 2 tells us this, and although we cannot understand or explain it, by faith we believe it. To ‘elect’ means to ‘pick out’, ‘select’; and God has picked us out, selected us, to be His very own – look up Ephesians 1:4-6; John 6:37-39.

2. We were elect, chosen, according to the ‘FOREKNOWLEDGE’ of God the Father.
Notice in verse 2 that God the Father is the author of the plan of salvation. Foreknowledge conveys not merely the idea of having previous knowledge, but it includes the idea of choice, of deliberate action against the background of knowledge – look up Acts 2:23. Knowing all about me, my sin, my failure, my weakness, the Lord chose me – look up John 1:42. In eternity past we were chosen by God the Father, who put our name in His book of life – look up Revelation 21:27.

3. God the Son, the Lord Jesus, shed His precious ‘BLOOD’ to redeem us and to make us His own.
Our salvation was planned in eternity, but it was purchased at Calvary 2000 years ago (verse 2). It is important to get the sequence of ‘the Pilgrim’s Progress’ – election, foreknowledge, redemption… In this letter Peter gives great prominence to the doctrine of the atonement – look up 1:18-20; 2:21-24; 3:18. In the fullness of time, the Lord Jesus came, and by His death and atoning sacrifice He provided a righteous basis upon which those elected according to God’s foreknowledge were brought back into fellowship with God.

4. God the Holy Spirit performed the work of ‘SANCTIFYING’, setting us apart from the rest of mankind to be the recipients of His grace.
The Holy Spirit has sought us, identified us and set us apart to be the Lord’s. This is what the Holy Spirit is doing today. He is seeking and setting apart those God the Father has chosen, that they might be washed in the blood of Jesus and brought into the family of the redeemed – look up Acts 15:13-14. How was it you became interested in spiritual things and in the Lord Jesus? It was only because the Holy Spirit was at work in your heart – look up John 6:65.

5. We were given the gift of faith, the power to believe and to render ‘OBEDIENCE’ to the truth.
Notice the words ‘for obedience’ (verse 2). The work of the Holy Spirit was not only to set us apart but to give us the gift of faith – look up John 3:5-8, and compare Romans 10:17. Through faith the life of God is imparted and the soul, once dead, becomes regenerate – notice the last part of 1 Corinthians 12:3. Christians have been saved for obedience. This means that we not only obey the Lord when we hear the gospel, yield to Him and trust Him as our Saviour, but we should go on to live a life of obedience.

6. Having saved us we are now ‘STRANGERS’, Pilgrims.
In verse 1 Peter speaks about ‘strangers’, ‘scattered’… These first Christians to whom he was writing were Jews (and Gentiles) – ‘pilgrims of the dispersion’; and we are pilgrims. We are not to settle here, for this earth is not our home; we are ‘exiles’, citizens of Heaven – Philippians 3:20-21.

7. We have been ‘SCATTERED’ abroad to be God’s witnesses to all nations.
Just as the Jews have been scattered all over the world, so we Christians have been scattered that we might be His witnesses to the nations. The Greek word means ‘scattered alongside the people of…’, which means He has placed you in your home, your office, your town, your country to be a witness just there – look up Acts 1:8.
When we see what God has done for us and our privilege to be His witnesses, surely our hearts are moved to love Him more and to obey Him fully.

SHINING AS THE STARS FOR EVER
Studies In The Life Of Daniel (10)

(Scripture Portion: Daniel 12:1-13)

In this concluding study of the series we are to consider a great statement contained in Daniel 12:3. This verse brings before us the Christian’s supreme task, for the greatest and the most worthwhile thing a Christian can do is to “lead many to righteousness”. The Lord has saved us in order that we may serve Him (Ephesians 2:10), and the supreme act of service, so far as our fellow-men are concerned, is that of bringing others to Christ.

The language and poetic beauty of Daniel 12:3 is very striking, and the statement is all the more remarkable when we see the context in which it is found. Daniel chapter 12 is a prophetic utterance concerning the last days; it should be read in conjunction with Matthew chapter 24, and with those chapters in the book of the Revelation which speak of the end-time of the age, of the Great Tribulation, of the appearance of Antichrist, and of the fearful battle of Armageddon. Daniel 12:3, therefore, is set in the midst of prophecies concerning God’s judgments – compare verse 2, for instance. The teaching is this: When God’s judgments are upon the earth (verse 2) there will be a great company of evangelists (the Jews) who will go forth to lead many to righteousness. But these words also have an immediate application to believers who are living today; they are a challenging word for every Christian, to spur us on to engage in our supreme task of winning the lost to the Saviour. Notice first in Daniel 12:3:

1. THE TASK THAT IS DEFINED
This task is committed to the “wise” who do a certain clearly defined work:
1. The nature of the task. What is it? It is turning men and women to righteousness. Christian, this is our job – to bring others to know Christ; as Andrew brought Peter (John 1:41); Philip brought Nathanael (John 1:45); and the Woman of Samaria brought a great company of people to know the Lord (John 4:28,29,39). Are we engaged in this task?
2. The measure of the task. Notice the two words: “they”, which refers to a certain kind of people, the “wise” (Proverbs 11:30); and notice the word “many”. It is wonderful to win one soul, especially when we realize the truth of Matthew 9:36 and the emphasis of our Lord’s teaching on the parables of Luke chapter 15. How wonderful, however, to win many to Christ! God longs that many shall be converted; and the few may be instruments in His hands to turn many to righteousness – look up Acts 18:8.
3. The superiority of the task. This is the greatest kind of work in which a Christian can engage. It is great to institute social reforms, better living conditions…it is great to be a doctor, a teacher…but the greatest task of all is to win a soul to Christ – look up James 5:20, and think over the meaning of the words “sinner…save…death…” Now see in Daniel 12:3:

2. THE EFFORT THAT IS REQUIRED
Two phrases here indicate effort! “Those who are wise…” – that implies work, industry, energy; and ‘those who lead many to righteousness…” – which also implies work and effort. In other words, an effort has to be made if men and women are to be saved. What effort is required in order to lead others to the Lord?

1. There is the effort of prayer. There are some Christians to whom the special ministry of prayer is committed, and many of these have the great joy of seeing men and women brought to the Lord Jesus Christ directly in answer to their prayers. Are you sick or shut-in? Is there anything you can do to win souls? Yes! You can pray for their salvation, and God will answer your prayer – look up James 5:17.
2. There is the effect of a quiet, consistent life lived in the home, the shop or the office. Multitudes of souls have been turned from sin to salvation simply by the power of a consistent Christian life. Nagging or bringing unsanctified pressure on them has not brought them into the kingdom; they have been won to Christ through the testimony of a Christ-filled life close at hand. Here is a ministry in which all of us can engage – look up Acts 4:13.
3. There is the Spirit-directed frontal attack; the carefully planned approach to the soul who needs to be turned “to righteousness”. The methods of getting to work are so varied and the opportunities are so constant that it is almost impossible to give a detailed description of the ways in which souls can be won. The important thing is that there should be the will to do the work, for if there is a burning desire in our hearts to win the lost to the Saviour, the Holy Spirit will lead us to the souls whom He would have us win – look up Acts 8:26,29.

Look again at Daniel 12:3, and notice one more thing:

3. THE REWARD THAT IS PROMISED
Compare Ecclesiastes 8:1 with Daniel 12:3. The latter verse speaks of the reward for faithful service that God promises to every soul-winner.
1. It is the promise of a certain reward. Notice that word “will”. God does not say: “Those who are wise may shine…” Here is His certain promise of reward in eternity compare Galatians 6:9.
2. It is the promise of a glorious reward. If we win souls here, in eternity we shall shine like stars for ever. What an amazing thought but it is true!
3. It is the promise of an eternal reward. This reward is imperishable; it is “for ever and ever”. Do you want something that will be yours throughout eternity? – look up Psalm 126:6.

This, then, is the Christian’s supreme task in which the Lord would have us all engage, and for which He promises a glorious reward in eternity. Let the wonder of Daniel 12:3 captivate your soul and send you forth with a burning heart and with the message of the gospel on your lips as you seek to lead many to righteousness!

14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

DOING EXPLOITS FOR GOD
Studies In The Life Of Daniel (9)

DOING EXPLOITS FOR GOD
Studies In The Life Of Daniel (9)
(Scripture Portion: Daniel 11:30-45)

This study is based upon the last part of Daniel 11:32 as it is recorded in the King James Version. Three ideas are contained in this verse. There is the thought of knowing God, being strong and doing exploits. God’s people are characterized by what they know, what they are and what they do. Believers (Christians) are different from worldly and unconverted people in these three respects – in the matter of knowing, being and doing. Notice that these three characteristics of the child of God are related, for only as we know God can we be strong; and only as we are strong can we undertake exploits in the name of the Lord. Conversely, if we are not doing exploits for God it is because we are not strong; and if we are not strong it is because we do not know God well enough. In this study we shall examine the three ideas in Daniel 11:32.

1. FIRST, WE MUST KNOW GOD
It is not enough to know about Him. It is possible to know much about the Lord, His nature and attributes, and yet not to know Him personally. We can, of course, only come to know God through the Lord Jesus Christ – look up and compare Job 22:21; John 14:6; 17:3. This is the initial sense in which we come to know God as our loving heavenly Father through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour; but we must go on to know Him progressively, for there are degrees of knowing Him, as John 14:9 and Philippians 3:10 indicate.

How do we really get to know God?
1. We get to know Him as we spend time in communion and in fellowship with Him. We can only really get to know anyone by spending time in his or her presence, and we can only really get to know God as we spend time alone with Him and cultivate fellowship and friendship with Him – as Enoch did (Genesis 5:22-24).
2. We get to know Him as we listen to Him speaking to us. When friends get together they talk and listen to one another, and thus they get to know one another; and as we wait in the presence of God regularly, He speaks to us in and through His Word, and we hear His voice and, like Mary, really come to know Him – look up Luke 10:38-42.
3. We get to know Him by speaking to Him. Fellowship is mutual; it is not a one-sided affair, and when we come into the presence of the Lord and open our hearts and our lips to Him we get to know Him, as David did (Psalm 55:16-17); and as Daniel did (Daniel 6:10).
4. We get to know Him by observing His ways of working. We get to know God as we see what He does and how He does it, and in this respect we can only get to know Him gradually in the daily paths of practical experience as we follow on to know Him – look up Hosea 6:3 KJV, and compare 2 Peter 3:18.

All this should make us ask ourselves: How much do I know Him? For the measure of our knowing…will determine the measure of our being…and our doing!

2. KNOWING GOD WILL MAKE US STRONG
Yes, and the more we know Him the stronger we shall be. Shall we be strong physically? We should remember that He is the source of our physical life as well as of our spiritual life. Shall we be strong morally? Yes – as Daniel was when he was cast into the lions’ den; and as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were when they were cast into the fiery furnace. Shall we be strong spiritually? Yes – look up Ephesians 6:10. As we go on to know the Lord:
1. We shall become stronger in our confidence in Him. We shall be filled with a holy assurance; we shall “know” – look up Job 19:25; Romans 8:28; 2 Timothy 1:12. We shall have confidence in God and His enabling to endure in adversity, trial, sorrow and any kind of affliction.
2. We shall become stronger in our power to meet and overcome temptation and evil. How weak we are sometimes! Why? Because we do not know the Lord enough; but as we get to know Him better we shall receive more power to meet and to overcome those things that are displeasing to Him – look up Acts 1:8.
3. We shall become stronger in our ability to be a strength to others. A Christian once prayed, “Lord, make me as Thine arm, upon which the troubled and tried can lean!” Is that the kind of prayer we should pray and that God will answer? Indeed it is!
Thus, as we know God we become strong – look up Isaiah 40:28-31. And when we are strong, then what happens?

3. WHEN WE ARE STRONG WE SHALL DO EXPLOITS FOR GOD
An exploit is: “A heroic deed of achievement”; a great and daring feat. The Bible is full of illustrations of men and women who did exploits for God. Think of Gideon and his 300 (Judges 7:19-23); Samson (Judges 14:5-6); Elijah on Carmel (1 Kings 18:36-39); and see God’s picture gallery of the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11. Think also of the apostles and the early Christians who hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord (Acts 15:26), and turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6)! If we really know God and are thereby made strong in Him, we also shall do exploits, and we shall do them in two ways:

1. By prayer. We shall find ourselves walking in the footsteps of men like George Muller and Hudson Taylor, who by prayer alone “moved the arm that rules the world”.
2. By Witnessing. We shall find ourselves walking in the footsteps of the early Christians, whose hearts were so full of the love of Christ that their lips were constantly filled with the message of the gospel as they went from place to place witnessing to the power and grace of God.

DANIEL’S PRAYER INVITES US TO OUR KNEES
Studies In The Life Of Daniel (8)
Daniel 9:1-19; 10:1-21

We have seen that Daniel was a man of prayer and that he spent much of his life in exile, during which he was associated with three kings and many prominent people. We have also seen that during severe testings he remained faithful to his Lord. Can a man be a Christian “in business…in politics…in college?” Yes – but what was the secret of his loyalty and devotion? It is found in his prayer-life. We read of his prayer for illumination and interpretation (Daniel 2:17-18); of his prayer in defiance of the king’s decree (6:10-15); of his prayer of confession and humiliation (chapter 9); of the spiritual results of his praying (chapter 10); and in 12:8-13 we find the last of his recorded prayers. Let us study chapters 9:1-19; 10:1-21.

1. DANIEL’S PRAYER FOUND ITS INSPIRATION IN HIS STUDY OF THE PROPHETIC WORD
True prayer always begins with the operation of the Holy Spirit in the heart (Romans 8:26; James 5:16). But on the human level, the inspiration of prayer may come through the recognition of some urgent need, or through the request of someone who says, “Please pray…” What started Daniel praying? Verses 1 and 2 tell us that he was poring over Jeremiah’s prophecy when he came to Jeremiah 25:12; 29:10; he discovered that Israel’s captivity in Babylon would last 70 years, after which the Jews would be free to return to their homeland, and as 68 years had now passed, only two years remained. When he discovered this he put on sackcloth and gave himself to prayer. Prayer is co-operating with God for the fulfilment of His will. When we pray we do not alter God’s mind; we discover what His purpose is and we enter into it by prayer, and that prayer becomes the channel through which the Lord fulfils His purpose.

2. DANIEL’S PRAYER REVEALS A TRUE BIBLICAL CONCEPTION OF GOD
In this prayer we have a revelation of what God is like. We discover that He is:
1. A great and awesome God – verse 4, and compare 1 Chronicles 29:11-13.
2. A faithful God – verse 4, and compare Deuteronomy 7:9.
3. A righteous and just God – verse 7, and compare Genesis 18:25.
4. A merciful and forgiving God – verse 9, and compare Psalm 130:4.
5. A God of judgment – verses 11 and 14, and compare Hebrews 10:31.
6. A mighty God – verse 15, and compare Jeremiah 32:21.
7. A God who hears and answers prayer – verses 6-19, and compare Luke 11:9-13.

This revelation God gave to Daniel is the biblical conception; it is not simply Daniel’s idea – it is Daniel’s, Jeremiah’s, Paul’s and that revealed by Jesus Himself, who said – John 14:9.

3. DANIEL’S PRAYER BETRAYS AN OVERWHELMING BURDEN OF DESIRE
Verse 3 indicates this, and it challenges us when some of our prayers are so cold and half-hearted. Notice the determination, the preparation and the resolution included in his praying; read verses 4,7,8,15-19, and notice that he moves from the petition, O Lord to the petition, “O Lord…our God…”, and finally to, “O…my God…” We are often so casual in our praying, and our prayers lack any sense of burden.

4. DANIEL’S PRAYER CONTAINS A DEEP AWARENESS OF SHAME AND A CONFESSION OF SIN
See how completely he identified himself with his brethren (verses 4-6,8,10,11,14); he did not cry, “They…have sinned…”; he said, “We…have sinned…” Arthur Wallis says, “An important feature in the work of intercession is that of identifying oneself not only with the need but also with the sin of those for whom intercession is made”. Moses did this (Exodus 32:31-32); and so did Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:6-7). In his penitential prayer Daniel described the sins of God’s people (verses 5,6,13). We need to be sensitive to the sins that abound in the church and in the world, and in humiliation we should confess these before our God.

5. DANIEL’S PRAYER IS CHARACTERIZED BY DEFINITE URGENT PETITIONS
There was nothing vague about his praying (verses 16-19); he prayed for the Lord’s blessing to rest upon the Holy City and upon His people. How should we pray for the church and for the world? Here are some suggestions:
Prayer for the church:
1. for a deep cleansing work of the Holy Spirit.
2. for a return to faith in the authority and inspiration of the Bible.
3. for direct, clear gospel preaching, resulting in repentance and renewal.
4. for holiness of life in the members.
Prayer for the world:
1. for men to be raised up to call the nation back to God.
2. for those in high places to be converted.
3. for the rising tide of iniquity to be stemmed.
4. For repentance and faith to be given to many.

6. DANIEL’S PRAYER INDICATES THE TRUE MOTIVE OF PRAYER
He asked that the Lord would bless His people and bless His Holy City “for your sake” (verses 17,19). His motive was the glory of God – look up James 4:3.

7. DANIEL’S PRAYER ILLUSTRATES THE RESULT OF TRUE PRAYER
Turn to chapter 10:1-21. What happens when we pray?
1. Immediately we pray our prayer is heard (verse 12). When we come before God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, at once we have an audience in heaven. Although three weeks had passed since Daniel had made his request, this was actually heard the moment he made it. Immediately we ask, God hears – look up Jeremiah 33:3.
2. Immediately we pray we set in motion a spiritual conflict. The Devil does not want our prayers to be answered, and this is the meaning of verse 13. Daniel’s prayer was answered three weeks earlier, but spiritual agencies in heaven prevented the answer from getting through – see Ephesians 6:12. When we pray, the forces of evil are aroused. This explains why the answers to some prayers are delayed.
3. Immediately we pray, fear is banished and strength is imparted. Look at verses 12,18,19, and compare Isaiah 40:31.

Surely this is a chapter to send us to our knees!

DANIEL IN THE LIONS’ DEN
Studies In The Life Of Daniel (7)

(Scripture Portion: Daniel 6:10-28)

The story of Daniel in the lions’ den, one of the most dramatic incidents recorded in the Bible, is a great strengthener to faith, a challenge to stand firm in a time of testing and trial, and a marvelous demonstration of the power of prayer. It is an illustration of Proverbs 18:10; 1 Corinthians 16:13; 2 Timothy 4:18; James 5:17; it is a prophetic picture of the protection that God will give to His faithful people at the end of the age (when His judgments will be poured out), and it also illustrates the present help and enabling that God gives to His people in times of testing. Notice why Daniel was thrown to the lions, what happened to him and what was the result of his ordeal.

1. THE DANGER THAT THREATENED HIM
Daniel was Prime Minister in the kingdom of King Darius in Babylon. By now he was between 80 and 90, and he was known for his piety and his faith in God. As a consequence, he had many enemies (verses 4 and 5). It was great for him to be Prime Minister – but look at 2 Timothy 3:12. In the royal court there were presidents, princes and other officials who were determined to bring about his downfall. In some measure this may be true of every Christian who is determined to be faithful to the Lord; it is surely impossible to be 100% loyal to the Lord Jesus and to escape some persecution – see 1 Peter 4:12-14, and see verses 6 to 9. Had he been weak in the faith then he would have given up his worship of God, his prayer habit of years, and he would have found some excuses for not obeying the dictates of his enemies; but he remained loyal in the hour of testing (verse 10). This is a great verse! Here he is, carrying on just as though he had no enemies working to bring about his downfall. He was under observation, and soon these enemies got him in their net (verse 11). Poor Daniel! What an ordeal for a servant of God! What humiliation for an aged Prime Minister! But – are you in some lions’ den, at your wits end, with people working against you, being persecuted for righteousness’ sake, in the den of sin, temptation, despair…? Is that old roaring lion, Satan, threatening to devour you? – look up 1 Peter 5:8. What can you do? – fret, struggle and complain? Yes, you can do all these things – but you must not, and you need not! Notice:

2. THE FAITH THAT SUSTAINED HIM
God actually allowed Daniel to be put into the den, just as previously He had allowed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to be put into the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:17-23); just as He allowed Paul and Silas to be cast into prison (Acts 16:23-24); just as He allowed F***y Crosby, the hymn writer, to spend ninety of her ninety-five years in blindness; and just as He allows many of His children to suffer persecution and imprisonment today. In the same way, perhaps He has allowed you to be cast into the prison of ill-health, loss, sorrow or some other testing? But – how did Daniel react? He put his whole trust in God for this new situation in which he found himself (verse 16). He could have sung:

My times are in Thy hand;
My God, I wish them there;
My life, my friends, my soul I leave
Entirely to Thy care.

That is what faith in the living God does – it gives peace and poise in the midst of terrifying situations and produces within the believer the experience of Isaiah 26:3. Look at verses 18 to 20. Daniel was more at rest in the prison with the lions than Darius was in his palace with all his luxurious comforts. If you are in a lions’ den, do believe this: the lions cannot harm you unless God allows them to, and if He does allow them, then somehow it will be for the best (Romans 8:28). What God wants most in our lives is that we trust Him, as Daniel did. Look at verse 20. Is God able? Of course He is – but His will is the important thing. It might have been God’s will for the lions to maul or kill Daniel, and had this been so it would have been the greatest thing that could happen to him, for there is nothing greater than for God to accomplish His will in the life of one of His children. However, it was His will that Daniel should be protected and preserved for further service. Notice, therefore:

3. THE POWER THAT DELIVERED HIM
Look at verses 20-23. This was God’s power at work. When Daniel was in the den God’s angel was there with him and the lions (verse 22) – and look up Psalm 91:11-13; Hebrews 1:14. Can God still send His angel to deliver us? Of course He can! – moreover He can deliver us with the angel of His presence – look up Isaiah 63:9. It is a great thing to experience the delivering power of God, for He delivers from sin (Hebrews 7:25); from fear (Psalm 34:4); from doubt (Matthew 14:31); from anxiety (Philippians 4:6-7); and He breaks the power of evil habits. In other words, He delivers completely (2 Timothy 4:18)! If you are in a horrible den, threatened by any kind of lion, the same power that delivered Daniel will deliver you if you will put your trust in the living God. Finally, notice:

4. THE TESTIMONY THAT THRILLED HIM
Look at verses 25-27, and compare Philippians 1:12. How thrilled and humbled Daniel must have been when in answer to his own prayer, and because of his own faithfulness and trust in God, Darius was led to give this great testimony!
There is one verse which in a special way sums up the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. It is Proverbs 16:7.
Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known!
