Dan 6:22
My God
sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths,
so that they have not hurt me,…
Daniel
was in that lions’ den. He was
surrounded by these lions all night long.
The Lord didn’t deliver him from being thrown into the lions’ den. The Lord has Daniel receive the punishment
the king had authorized concerning those who would pray to any other god than
the king. The king’s law had to be
kept. The governing authorities had
established this law and Daniel was subject to the consequences. The law didn’t say that whoever broke this
law should be eaten by the lions, but rather, that they would have to be thrown
into the lions’ den. Our God is not
intimidated or obstructed by temporal governing powers. Our God is the King of kings! He had no problem allowing Daniel to receive
the consequences. He shut the mouths of
the lions – ALL of them! Our God can see
us through some crazy consequences and shut the lions’ mouths. Our God is not restricted by the laws of man
in order to deliver us from any sort of crafty scheme. Are you facing lions? Trust that the Lord is able to shut their mouths. You may have to have them around you for a
while, but don’t worry about their ability to devour you – He can shut their
mouths so that you don’t even see their teeth!
