STORY:

Daniel 6: 1-28
Daniel was the best man in King Darius' kingdom. He loved God and prayed to Him three times each day. Some bad men were jealous of Daniel. They tried to get him in trouble. The men tricked King Darius into making a law. The law said no one could pray to anyone but Darius for 30 days. Anyone who prayed to God would be thrown into the lions' den. But Daniel still prayed to God. The bad men went to the king and told him that Daniel was still praying to God. So, the king put Daniel in the lions' den. God protected Daniel. The next morning the king found Daniel alive. God had closed the mouths of the lions! Then the happy king and all his people believed in God.
