Things we can learn from Daniel...

Supplemental Reading - Daniel Chapter 2

Like many of us, Daniel found himself living in a society that was filled with wickedness and self indulgence. This was best displayed when the king built a 90 foot statue of HIMSELF and made a decree that all the people had to bow down to worship or their lives were at stake (Ch. 3). Daniel's friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego found themselves to be the ONLY people who would not bow to worship the idol! Even though this story happened thousands of years ago, Daniel and his friends set an example for us to follow today as they "Stood Up in a Bow Down World!"

Here are a few things that we can learn from the book of Daniel.
1. They refused to give into worldly temptations.
2. They continued to Praise God - even when the world did not get it.
3. They sought God’s insight and wisdom in the situation. Just as Proverbs 2:6 states, “For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
