Daniel 6
Did you know a lion can eat up to 88 pounds of meat in a single meal? That’s the equivalent of eating around 265 bananas! Don’t worry…there aren’t any hungry lions hiding in your closet!
It’s amazing to think of how hungry the lions must have been when Daniel was thrown into their den, and yet they didn’t eat Daniel. Why not? Because God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions! God kept Daniel safe. God showed everyone how strong and mighty He is. When King Darius realized what had happened, he made a new decree that everyone should worship the one true God.
There are times in our lives when we face difficult or scary situations. These times leave us wondering where God is and how He’s going to help us. But we can always trust in God’s power to save because Jesus offers the greatest deliverance—freedom and eternal life to everyone who believes in Him.
Daniel continued to trust God even though it meant he might be thrown into the lions’ den. Jesus was faithful to follow God’s plan even through it meant He would die on the cross for sinners.
