Daniel 6:20
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
DANIEL 6:20
The king’s lamentable cry to Daniel personalizes the drama: “O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God able to deliver thee?” It’s a public confession that Daniel’s God is recognized as the true power. The king’s language—“servant of the living God”—places Daniel within a broader confession, inviting others to consider the reality of divine deliverance.
This moment reveals God’s reputation among non-believers and demonstrates that faithful prayer and steadfastness can awaken others to the living God. It highlights the relational bridge between king and God and the possibility of conversion or awe through witness.
Our faithful conduct can be a bridge for others. In tense moments—whether in family, workplace, or community—let your trust in God speak louder than words. A calm, prayerful demeanor can prompt questions and reflections about the God you serve.
