The prophet Daniel is a great model of consistency, and we read about it in chapter 6:1-24 (read the text aloud or tell the story as outlined below).

• Darius is the king and he has appointed Daniel to a very high position in his kingdom.
• Daniel's colleagues are very jealous of him.
• They cannot figure out a way to accuse him because of his consistency, faithfulness, and integrity.
• They lay a trap based on Daniel's faith.
• They got the king to decree that no one can pray to anyone but the king for 30 days. The penalty for disobedience was to be put in a den of lions.
• Daniel prays discreetly, but they see him, accuse him, and he's thrown to the lions.
• The king respects Daniel, and can't sleep all night. He respects Daniel's consistency.

The next morning, they look in, and the king says (read vv. 20-23 aloud).

• Daniel's consistency, his faithfulness, his integrity was strongly tested, but he remained consistent.
• This was a real key to Daniel's long-term excellent service of the most powerful world leader of that era.

Today, we can be like Daniel.
