As he (Darius) came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish. The king declared to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"
Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever! My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless before him: and also before you, O king, I have done no harm."
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
"...people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,
for he is the living God, enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be to the end.
He delivers and rescues;
he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth,
he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."
~Daniel 6:20-23, 26-27~

One of my favorite Bible stories! God is our deliverer!
ReplyDeleteI loved learning that as a child. What a powerful reminder of how God can always protect us. Your picture is perfect for that verse.
