Daniel

Daniel and the Lions

Daniel 6:1-28

Daniel is an old man now, far from home, working for King Darius in the Persian capital. He has spent a lifetime praying to the God of Israel three times a day at his open window. When jealous officials trick the king into making prayer illegal, Daniel does not hide. He prays anyway — and the law sends him into the lions'' den. But the lions, hungry as they are, do not touch him. God shuts their mouths. By morning Daniel walks out alive, and a Persian king writes a decree praising the God of Israel. This comic shows kids that quiet faithfulness, repeated over a lifetime, is the loudest kind of courage.
