    Faith and Courage

    Faith and trust are inter- changeable. Both imply confidence in God’s ability to solve any problem one encounters,
    abandoning self- interest, self- reliance, arrogance, pride and self- trust. Faith implies firmness in one’s confidence in God
    in the midst of unfavorable situations.

    Faith and Power Daniel 6:1- 28

    King Darius of Persia divided his kingdom into a hundred and twenty (120) satraps ( governors) with only three presidents
    appointed to oversee all. Daniel, by divine act was one of the presidents. Besides, he was the most favored of the three
    presidents. As a result,his colleagues were full of jealousy and plotted to destroy him. Finding nothing on which to pin
    Daniel down, they moved to the king and compelled him to make a law that no one, for thirty days should request anything
    from God or man, except from the king . The penalty was casting the culprit into the Lions’ den.

    King Darius obliged them and made the decree, not knowing their plot was to rope someone in of and reported to the king
    . The King looked for a way to release Daniel when he realized what he did, but the enemies reminded him that right from
    time immemorial, the laws of Medes and Persia were unchangeable.

    Against his wish therefore the King cast Daniel into the den of lions, but prayed for Daniel for God to deliver him. The King
    could not sleep all night. Early the following morning, the king rose and came to the den to see if Daniel was dead or alive.
    Daniel was alive and told him that his God had sent his angels and shut the mouth of the lions and they could not harm
    him. The King was happy. He ordered that Daniel be brought out and those men who accused Daniel together with their
    families were cast into the den of lions. He also decreed that throughout his kingdom, everyone should worship the God
    of Daniel.

    Babylon to begin to worship God. The same goes for Daniel, Darius recommends the God of Daniel to all his
    provinces.
    2. For God to rise to our protection, we must have absolute faith in him as well as be upright like Daniel, Shadrach,
    Meshach and Abednego.
