The Courage of Daniel 

Overview

Daniel finds himself in a tough situation. He knows God deserves his praise, but he also knows if he doesn’t obey king Darius he will be punished.

Daniel must choose between obeying God & obeying King Darius.

It may have been easier to hide his faith for a while but instead he chose to obey God.

Daniel continued to trust God and have courage even when it seemed he would be eaten by the lions & God saved him.

If we stick with God He will take care of us too. We must trust God with all our heart even in hard times.
