Study
7 From the Book of Daniel is: Daniel 6
The identity of Darius the Mede is
still a matter for debate, but the most likely candidates are Gobryas (Gubaru),
the governor or Babylon, or Cyrus the king. This is one of many instances of
biblical interpretation over which the reader has to admit that he simply does
not know the answer until fresh evidence comes to light to help to solve the
mystery.
1- Neither
pressure of business nor the threat of death kept Daniel from prayer. How is it
with you? Do you think that other qualities in Daniel’s character revealed in
this chapter were the outcome of his prayer life? What were those
qualities? Cf. Is. 40:29-31; Phil: 4:5,
6.
2- Is your
faith of such a kind that you can stand alone in obedience to God without
external support? Are we so living that even our keenest critics take it for granted
that the will of God comes first in our lives, come that what may?
