Daniel the Lion Tamer

Today, I was reading the bible and I was on the book of Daniel. Now, many of you know that Daniel was a man of God and he served several kings. From King Nebuchadnezzar to King Darius, Daniel remained faithful throughout his service to his earthly kings and even more on his Heavenly Father. With such faithfulness to God ,he was rewarded greatly with a high government post. However, such a journey doesn't come easy. He was accused and persecuted several times by his peers who opposed God. An example of which would be the time when the entire kingdom was supposed to pray to the idol created by King N every time the bell rang. As a man of God, Daniel remained faithful to God. However, his peers brought the matter up to the king and despite having favor with the king, the king had no choice but to send him into the lion's den after signing an agreement that whoever did not worship the king had to perish. As most of us know, Daniel did not suffer a single scratch from the beasts.

In conclusion, when we are faced with such rules and regulations in our lives or when our friends are speaking against your faith to Jesus Christ, what would be the driving force for us to remain faithful?
