Daniel an Honest Man

There lived a person named Daniel in that country of Darius. Daniel was a very religious man who believed in God. Daniel loves God and everyday prays to him. He prayed 3 times in a day to God. Not a single day passes in which Danielle has not prayed. He used to pray, whatever happens to him.

The king heard about Danielle and gave Danielle and two other men the task of choosing 120 supervisors and governors. Those two people did not like that a common man like Danielle would work with them.

Daniel does his work with great honesty and honest passion. The king was very pleased to see Daniel’s honesty and gave Daniel the responsibility of taking care of the kingdom.

People Getting Jealous From Daniel

People were getting jelous with Daniel when he got so close to the king. They thought of removing Daniel under any circumstances. Together they began to find Daniel’s shortcomings. Everyone tried their best to find the flaws and faults of Daniel. But nobody found a single fault of his, because whatever he did, he would do it with sincerity.

Other supervisors and governors together conspired against Daniel. They prepared a plan against Daniel. Supervisor and Governor came to King Darius and both said to the King, “Hail King Darius, King Darius we want to announce something in this country which is very good for us and it will be beneficial for us.”

“So what do you want to announce? Tell me in detail. Explain to me what it is?” The king said.

The officials said to the king, “king, all the supervisors, governors, lieutenant governors of this country all want that no one to pray to God except you for the next 30 days. We request you to make such a declaration. It would be perfectly right to do so. If anyone will not obey your command and pray to God, then he/she will be put in the lion’s den. “

The king listened to everyone and the king decided that he would do the same and he said that he will soon sign the decleration so that it would become law. After the signing of the king, it became law throughout the country. Now no one but the king could pray to God.

The news reached Daniel, and he was wondering that how King could give such an order? Who can live without praying to God? Everyone has the right to pray to God.

But without worrying about punishment, Daniel got up the next day to pray to God, as he had done before because he could not live without praying to God.
