Daniel and the lions’ den continued…

Daniel 6:16 “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lion’s den. The king said to Daniel, ‘Your God, to whom you are so loyal, is going to get you out of this.’” 

The king – the one who was so unbelievably self-centered enough to decree that he alone must be worshipped – knew that the only One Who could save Daniel was God.  Amen! Even the heathen have hope! 

Even so, look at verse 17: “A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel's situation might not be changed.”

Other versions of the Bible say, “So that no one could rescue Daniel,” “that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel,” and “so that no one would interfere with Daniel's situation.”

This verse is laughable! Let’s laugh! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Really?  A stone and a few seals and nothing will change?  No one can rescue him? Daniel’s fate is sealed and no one can interfere?

Is there something blocking your path today? Is there something that has you feeling shut in with no way of escape? Do you feel as though your situation won’t change? Do you think that what’s done is done and your fate is already determined?  Do you feel like Daniel?  Do you look like Daniel? Has someone written you off?

Lord have mercy!

There’s a reason why none of the pronouns in the verse above are capitalized, and there’s a reason why God allowed these silly men to block Daniel’s exit and go through all the histrionics of sealing the lion’s den.  Let there be no doubt that if, in fact, Daniel is rescued, the credit and the glory and the all the honor will go to our Lord!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that nothing is too difficult for you, and nothing, certainly not a mere mortal and his seals, can stop You.  A doctor’s report can’t stop You. A crisis at work can’t stop You.  A rebellious child can not stop You.  And a stone?  Rolling those away are Your specialty.  In Jesus’ mighty name, AMEN~
