Matthew Henry's Commentary on Daniel 6:26

Commentary on Daniel 6:25-28

(Read Daniel 6:25-28)

If we live in the fear of God, and walk according to that rule, peace shall be upon us. The kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever, are the Lord's; but many are employed in making known his wonderful works to others, who themselves remain strangers to his saving grace. May we be doers, as well as believers of his word, least at the last we should be found to have deceived ourselves.
