Versets liés à Daniel, 6:

Daniel 6 is the chapter that narrates Daniel's story in the lions' pit. King Darius had decreed that no one could pray to any God or man other than himself, but Daniel disobeyed this order and continued to pray to God as usual. As a result, he was thrown into the lions' pit, but God protected him and he survived. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:

Psalm 55:17: "In the afternoon, and in the morning, and at noon, I will make my complaints and lament; and he will hear my voice." This passage shows the importance of constant prayer, as Daniel practiced, even though he knew he could be condemned to death for it.

Matthew 6:6: "But you, when you pray, enter your room, and closing the door, sometimes your father who is in secret; and your father, who sees in secret, will reward you." Jesus teaches here about the importance of prayer in secret, without worrying about the opinion of others.

1 Peter 5:8: "Sober thirst, watch, because the devil, your adversary, walks in melting, bustling like a lion, seeking to those who can swallow." This passage talks about the devil acting like a hungry lion, ready to devour those who are faithful to God, like the lions in the grave with Daniel.

Hebrews 11:33-34: "Who, by faith, won kingdoms, practiced justice, reached promises, closed the mouths of the lions, erased the strength of fire, escaped from the wire of the sword, of weakness took strength, in battle if They struggled, they put the armies of the strangers out. " This passage describes the many acts of faith that were practiced by the heroes of faith, such as Daniel, who closed the mouth of the lions for his faith in God.

James 1:12: "Blessed is the man who supports temptation; for when proven, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him." This passage encourages believers to persevere in the midst of trial and tribulation, as Daniel did in the lions' pit, remembering that God promised reward to those who love and serve him faithfully.
