Daniel 6:25-28 shows how Daniel's unwavering trust in God impacted King Darius. Though the king may be in charge, he could not take the life of a faithful servant without God's consent. The miraculous rescue of Daniel shows that, ultimately, God reigns supreme in the affairs of men. So, Darius issued a decree for all citizens to respect and honor God.
In a profound realization, the King
acknowledged that Daniel's God was the living God, reigning eternally. In
verses 26-27, he resolutely declared that God is the living God who
endures forever, and His kingdom will not be destroyed. He also acknowledged
that God delivers, rescues, and performs signs and wonders in heaven and earth.
The chapter concludes with a testament to
Daniel's continued prosperity. He thrived under the administration of Darius,
aka Cyrus. Daniel's life is a powerful testimony, illustrating the profound
impact that can be made when we remain steadfast in our faith. It is one thing
to profess faith in God, but embodying our beliefs is entirely different.
Living faithfully for God is worth it. We
may not make an impact as significant as a renowned evangelist, but we can
touch those within our sphere of influence. We must never underestimate what
God can do with the few people we have touched with our faithful living. We
should stay reliable and live responsibly for God, and there's no telling what
God can do through us and those we will influence with our faithful living.
