Read Daniel 6
Think About It:
Daniel was faithful to God and to the kings he was called to serve. Some of his peers became jealous of the favor and power he was given. So, they set up a clever plot to have him killed. Even when Daniel heard of the plot he still boldly and openly prayed and gave thanks to God! He was faithful, bold, and courageous even in his old age! He was in his 80s at this time.
