| Second Day: Read Daniel 6, concentrating on verses 1-3.
1. How did Darius organize the government of Babylon after he assumed power, and what position was Daniel given? (Daniel 6:1-2)
2. Challenge: What was unusual about Daniel being given this new high position in the Medo-Persian Empire? Review Daniel 1:18-21; 2:46-49; 5:17,29-31.
3. What do you learn about Daniel in Daniel 6:3?
4. Challenge: Read Genesis 41:14-41. How was Joseph’s promotion similar to the one the king planned for Daniel? To whom did Joseph give credit for his discernment and wisdom? (Genesis 41:16)
5. Daniel and Joseph were not exceptional civil servants because they were geniuses or political experts. God will work through any believer who allows Him to be Lord of his or her life. How can we do this according to the following verses?
Psalm 1:1-3
Psalm 111:10
James 1:22-25
6. Personal: Daniel honored and served God while still a lowly captive, never knowing the earthly honor he would receive from kings. God wants to work through you, too, in whatever situation you find yourself. After reading the verses in question 5, how can you prepare yourself to be used by Him? Why not pray about this now?
