That is a great habit it can’t be his only one. We will find out in a moment that it was Daniel’s habit to pray three times a day. Daniel’s excellent spirit was reflected by good habits. What we feed our minds will pour out of our spirits.ĭ.

Men with excellent spirits are wise, intelligent, and full of light, the idea being right thinking that leads to right actions, minds filled with light not darkness.
In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him, and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father-your father the king-made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and astrologers. Listen to what she said: There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In Daniel 5:11 the queen of Babylon described Daniel.
Daniel’s excellent spirit revealed right thinking. Men, if our inner lives are chaos, our outer lives will be too.Ĭ. Daniel’s inner life (his spirit) was visible in his outer life (the way he acted). We are told that Daniel was distinguished because of his excellent spirit, so it must have been visible. Daniel’s excellent spirit had both a spiritual and physical aspect. Before we can influence anyone else, we must allow ourselves to first be influenced by God.ī. Back in Daniel 4:8, when Nebuchadnezzar was describing Daniel, he said that within Daniel was the “spirit of the holy god.” Daniel’s excellent spirit began with his intimate, personal walk with God. Daniel’s excellent spirit flowed from his closeness with God. Men with a lasting influence have excellent spirits (Dan 6:1-3)Ī. We are told specifically it was because he had an excellent spirit.ġ. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.ĭarius immediately spotted Daniel. 3 Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. ġ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom 2 and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss. In chapter 6, the Medes and the Persians have taken over and a new government is being formed. Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon the Great are no more. As we begin reading, let me set the stage. Let’s go to Daniel 6 and find out what they are. There are three distinguishing characteristics of men who have a lasting influence. He was never married-no family, kids or grandkids-but I guarantee you there is not one child in our church that has not heard of Daniel. In fact, he was almost certainly a eunuch. What is interesting about Daniel is he never had any children. But we can all have a powerful lasting influence on those around us. Guys, there is no way any one of us fathers will be perfect. That is what I want to discuss on this Father’s Day. He is a very old man, but one with a powerful and lasting influence. Daniel is about 90 years old by Daniel 6. Look at how old the man is in the picture-maybe 25? As you are turning in your Bibles to Daniel 6, we need to recalibrate our mental pictures. But if you are like me and this is how you have imagined the lions’ den event, you’ll be surprised to know that this picture has almost no basis in reality. Painted in 1615 by Peter Paul Rubens, it is a beautiful example of classical idealism. Look at this famous one held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Introduction: When I see many of the pictures that portray Daniel in the lions’ den, I have to chuckle. Key Goals: (Know) Understand our need to learn.
