The quality Daniel’s character impacts his world


Daniel 6:3-5 — Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. At this, the administrators and satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt not negligent. Finally, these men said, “We will never find any charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”


Daniel was a person of blameless testimony


  • Exceptional qualities lead to extraordinary opportunities

  • Our testimony matters

  • We have been bought with a price

Daniel 6:10 — Now when Daniel learned that the law had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. And three times a day, he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.


Daniel was a person of bold conviction


  • Daniel would rather spend a night with the lions than miss his appointment with God

  • Bold convictions require us to stand for righteousness and stand against evil

  • The heart of a king is changed
