DANIEL: MAN OF COMMITMENT.
Intro. Committed to purity. He had purposed not to defile himself with the king's meat or wine. The king's meat had been sacrificed first to the king's gods. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging.
PRO 23:29
A. Nazarite vow. One to qualify for an overseer of a church was not to be given to wine. All things are lawful for me, I will not be brought under the power of any.
B. 1 Co. 6:12.
C. Committed to honesty and integrity.
Dan 6:4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
D. Committed to prayer. When seeking an interpretation to the king's dream, he called on his friends to pray with him.
E. Daniel's prayer in chapter 9.
F. Prayer after the king had signed the decree, 6:10.
G. Committed to the Word.
H. The occasion of his prayer in chapter 9.
Dan 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
I. The results of his commitment: He was used by God in great ways.
a. To interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar
b. To become one of the leaders over the land.
Dan 2:46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
Dan 2:47 The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it is], that your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
Dan 2:48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.
Dan 6:1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
Dan 6:2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
Dan 6:3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. He not only found favor with man, but favor with God.
Dan 9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
