Last week we
learned about the three Hebrew friends that God saved from the fiery furnace –
how about being saved from the mouths of hungry lions?! Again, a Hebrew young man by the name of
Daniel obeyed God. There was a law in
the land that no one could bow or pray to anyone but King Darius. Daniel knew he was to pray only to God, so
he continued to do so. The Bible
describes that he purposed in his heart to obey. When you purpose in your heart to do
something, it means you put that ideal above all else, no matter what the
cost. That is exactly what Daniel
purposed – to obey God. And when he was
found out that he was obeying God rather than King Darius, by punishment of
that law, he was thrown into the lions’ den.
God shut the mouths of the lions and Daniel was unharmed. God again was able to prove Himself – obey
and trust Him, and He will save. He will
save and show that he is mighty and powerful.
Read about this other exciting story of God’s salvation of His people in
Daniel Chapter 6!
