Memory Verses
These are the words spoken by King Darius after Daniel was saved from the lions through God's help and protection.
“I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.“For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end. He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.” Daniel 6:26-27 NIV
Talk
Daniel stayed faithful to God, though he was far from home in the strange land of Babylon. Daniel served several of Babylon’s kings, and he always tried to follow God’s laws—even when they didn’t agree with the law of the land.
