The lion's den

In Daniel 6, we witness the miraculous deliverance of Daniel from the lions’ den. As dawn breaks, the king rushes to the den, his heart heavy with worry for Daniel’s safety. Even King Darius recognised that Daniel’s God was living and active, something he saw by observing Daniel’s faith. With a trembling voice, he calls out, seeking reassurance from Daniel himself. In response, Daniel’s words resonate with faith and gratitude. He acknowledges the sovereignty of his God, who sent His angel to shut the mouths of the lions.

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt trapped, without options or a way out? This passage reminds us of the power of trust and faith in God, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Just as God protected Daniel amidst the lions, He is faithful to deliver us from our own trials and tribulations when we place our trust in Him.

Like Daniel, let us hold fast to our faith, knowing that our God is mighty to save, and He has the ability to ‘shut the lions’ mouths’ (v. 22), whatever that may be in your life.
