BEFORE THE KING
Introduction
Daniel 1:1-7 Behind the Curtain
Daniel 1:8-16 Against the Flow
Daniel 1:17-21 Before the King
Daniel and his three friends stayed true to their calling and carried out their responsibilities before the King.
How can we be ready to stand before the King?
Two ways we can be ready to stand before the King:
A. USE OUR GOD-GIVEN GIFTS (vv.17-20)
“As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams…he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom.” (vv.17, 20)
B. KEEP OUR GOD-ASSIGNED ROLES (v.21)
“And Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus.” (v.21)
Conclusion
Stewarding our lives before our King Jesus!
