This time, the focus is on the substitutionary atonement of the greater Daniel. Excellence by means of the Spirit of God is again set in front of us. V. 3 Faithful – v. 4 No error or fault – v. 4 (1 Tim 3) Customary thanksgiving, supplication, and prayer - v. 10 Eschews Molech worship Honors God’s authorities – v. 21 Innocent before God and man– v. 22 Believed God – v. 23 Served God continually – v. 16b, 20b The blessings of the righteous evoke envy from the wicked. We can garner solace for our “dark nights of the soul,” for there is grass in the habitation of dragons. (Isa. 35:5-10).
