The story is a very familiar one…Daniel in the lion’s den…condemned to death by King Darius for refusing to adhere to his decree. God could have changed the situation…but He didn’t. God could have rescued Daniel out of the lion’s den the instant his feet hit the dirt…but He didn’t. Instead, God chose to shut up the lion’s mouths, but still made Daniel spend the night there. He was destined then to endure & persevere through horrific hours as the lions lurked around, sniffing and drooling around him. But still Daniel trusted in his God. There will be times in our life when we too will have to live through dark, scary times in the lion’s den. And just as Daniel, we also will be innocent in God’s sight. But still, we’ll have to put up with those menacing lions for a night.
