“Although Daniel knew
That the document
Had been signed,
He continued to go
To his house.
It had windows
In its upper room
Open toward Jerusalem.
He got down
On his knees
Three times a day
To pray
To God.
He praised him
As he done previously.”
Daniel knew that his fate had been sealed. The king had signed the decree. However, that did not faze him. He continued to pray in his house that had open windows facing Jerusalem on the second floor or the upper chambers. He got down on his knees, as he usually did, 3 times a day. He then prayed and praised God, as he had done so often before.
