Daniel Chapter 6 Verse 23

23 Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

Darius brings Daniel out and looks him over. Not a scratch is found on him.

“And no hurt was found upon him…”

because Daniel was so powerful? No.

because Daniel was so charismatic? No.

because Daniel was so popular? No.

because Daniel was so wealthy? No.

because Daniel was so smart? No.

because Daniel trusted in God? Yes!

Daniel was delivered because Daniel was faithful to God. Indeed, he takes his place in the roll call of faith we find in Hebrews 11.

Hebrews 11:32-34 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets – 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

Daniel is a wonderful example of someone who absolutely refused to compromise with the world and instead remained loyal and true to God despite the earthly consequences.
