Thriving in Babylon: Lessons from the life of Daniel

Three questions:

• What does it look like to live a godly life in a godless world?


• How do we stand firm and love well?


• Is our God bigger than our Babylon?

Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible, and completely trustworthy. So they concluded, “Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.”  Daniel 6:4-5 NLT

“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.”  Daniel 6:10 NLT

What Daniel didn’t do

            Challenge the authorities

            Rally the troops

            Attack his detractors

“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.”  Daniel 6:10 NLT

What Daniel did

            Knelt down

            Windows open

            Towards Jerusalem

             As he had always done
