WEEKLY REFLECTIONS
What does integrity look like in today’s world? How did Daniel demonstrate integrity in Daniel 6?
What lengths do people go to in order to sin? How might they rationalize their behavior? How have you seen people cover it up?
Have you ever regretted a sinful decision in your life? How did you recognize the sin? How did you respond?
How does Daniel rely on God in Daniel 6? How do we see God provide for him?
How does God demonstrate his justice in this chapter? Who benefits? Who is punished?
How does the decree reflect God’s character? What other attributes of God should we praise?
Additional Study: Darius makes a vow to uphold his decree. What do the Scriptures tell us about making vows? (Deut 23:21-21, Matt 5:33-37) What other examples of foolish vows do we see in the Scripture? (1 Sam 14:24-28, Judges 11:29-39) How would Darius have benefited from this understanding of making similar vows?
