"So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and
hurled him into the pit of lions. The king said to Daniel: “Your
God—the one you serve so consistently—will rescue you."
(Daniel 6:16, CEB)
Finding himself backed into a corner by his own arrogance, King
Darius gives the order to throw his trusted advisor, Daniel, into the lion's
den. Daniel's faithful witness before him, however, causes the king to do
something unbelievable...even as he is feeding Daniel to the lions, Darius bears
witness to the ability of Daniel's God to keep him safe. Serving God gets us
into and out of some interesting situations, doesn't it?
Prayer: Gracious God, May we serve you faithfully this day,
trusting you to deliver us, whatever we face. Amen.
