Daniel was a brilliant statesman. For the space of seventy years and over the span of four Kings he was prime minister of a mighty nation (Babylon). All during this time he was a man of prayer. As is the case frequently, this godly man had significant and powerful enemies. In an ingenious and subtle plot a trap was set to catch Daniel in his well known prayer vigil.
Caught praying, he was sentenced to the Lion’s den to be torn instantly into small pieces. But Daniel was “prayed up” and God’s angel was on hand to shut the mouth of the lions. What a blessing to have one’s prayer life in good working order before an emergency arises.
Daniel 6:1-24
