但以理書  Daniel  6 : 1-10
 

一日三次雙膝跪在他上帝面前，禱告感謝，與素常一樣。—但以理書6章10節

6:1 大利烏隨心所願，立一百二十個總督，治理通國。
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
6:2 又在他們以上立總長三人（但以理在其中），使總督在他們三人面前回覆事務，免得王受虧損。
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.
6:3 因這但以理有美好的靈性，所以顯然超乎其餘的總長和總督，王又想立他治理通國。
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.6:4 那時，總長和總督尋找但以理誤國的把柄，為要參他；只是找不著他的錯誤過失，因他忠心辦事，毫無錯誤過失。
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.
6:5 那些人便說：「我們要找參這但以理的把柄，除非在他　神的律法中就尋不著。」
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6:6 於是，總長和總督紛紛聚集來見王，說：「願大利烏王萬歲！
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. assembled...: or, came tumultuously
6:7 國中的總長、欽差、總督、謀士，和巡撫彼此商議，要立一條堅定的禁令（或譯：求王下旨要立一條……），三十日內，不拘何人，若在王以外，或向神或向人求甚麼，就必扔在獅子坑中。
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. decree: or, interdict
6:8 王啊，現在求你立這禁令，加蓋玉璽，使禁令決不更改；照瑪代和波斯人的例是不可更改的。」
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. altereth not: Chaldee, passeth not
6:9 於是大利烏王立這禁令，加蓋玉璽。
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
6:10 但以理知道這禁令蓋了玉璽，就到自己家裡（他樓上的窗戶開向耶路撒冷），一日三次，雙膝跪在他　神面前，禱告感謝，與素常一樣。
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

全年讀經: 以賽亞書30-31章 腓立比書4章

當2011年賽季中最大的一場橄欖球賽，被安排在贖罪日舉行時，德州大學的學生自治會立即向校方請願，希望更改比賽日期。他們認為這對猶太裔的學生很不公平，因為這意味著他們必須做出選擇：是觀看德州大學與俄克拉荷馬大學之間的傳統對抗賽，還是得遵守一年中最重要的猶太教節日。但到最後，比賽的日期並沒有改變。即便在現今社會中，人們享有宗教自由，但對每一個持守信仰的人而言，仍然必須做出困難的抉擇。
但以理所展現的，即是不計任何代價勇於遵從上帝的例子。當時，他的政治對手為了掃除權力障礙，設下陷阱要除滅他（但以理書6章1-9節）。但以理並沒有挑戰王的命令，也不抱怨受了冤屈，「但以理知道這禁令蓋了玉璽，就到自己家裡（他樓上的窗戶開向耶路撒冷），一日三次雙膝跪在他上帝面前，禱告感謝，與素常一樣。」（10節）
但以理並不知道上帝是否會救他離開獅子坑，不過對他來說，這並不重要。重要的是他選擇無論付出何種代價，他都要用生命來榮耀上帝。像但以理一樣，我們也能自由地選擇跟隨主。DCM

選擇跟隨救主，

擁有何等自由；

選擇罪的道路，

終身必定被囚。D. De Haan

選擇跟隨基督，永不會誤入歧途。
