Daily Reading: Daniel 6:1-10
Daniel is promoted in the new Persian kingdom. But Daniel’s rise to power isn’t welcomed by those he has been promoted above and they come up with a plan they think will lead to, not only his removal from office, but also certain death. This chapter mirrors chapter 3 where we see the exiles pressured to conform. In chapter 3 they were pressured to do something God forbade (worship an idol) and in chapter 6 the pressure was to not do something that God commanded them to do (pray to Him).
