DANIEL

REFLECTIONS ON DANIEL.

What the book of Daniel is teaching us: I think the book of daniel is teaching us many many different things that are repeated through out the book. The first thing would obviously be to not compromise. Every story about daniel in that book proves that he did not compromise and he still became the second most powerful man in Babylon.
Another thing that is repeated in this book is honesty. Daniel never once lied about his interpretations towards the King, which could of had him killed instantly if he told him the wrong thing.
Both of these things would have got Daniel killed, but YHWH made sure he didn't die. This is proving to us that YHWH is in complete control of every situation and that we should just hold true to our faith.

How this applys to us today: The Book of Daniel applies to me today because compromise is still all around us. We are still called to be honest, and YHWH still calls me to have faith that he is in control of everything.
