Daniel's Faithful Prayer
Story★★★★When Daniel knew that the writing was signed this law, He knows that he’s going to go to the lion’s den if he’s caught praying. He went home and in his upper room with his windows open towards Jerusalem. Why were his windows open towards Jerusalem? Because Solomon said If you are carried away captive to another land, if they pray towards this place, then hear in heaven and answer their prayer. It says he knelt down on his knees in his upper room where everybody could see him. And he prayed out loud where everyone could hear. He did absolutely nothing to show that he was worshiping Darius. He wanted everyone to know, my custom is not gonna change.
Batchelor, Doug, “Commands of the King, Part 1” (AudioVerse teaching 35128).
The point
Daniel continues praying openly despite the law forbidding it, showing his unwavering faith and obedience to God's commands.
