Knowing God - God Shuts the Lions' Mouths


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!
