“Because he has set
his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; He shall call upon Me and I
will answer him…I will deliver him and honor him” Psalm 91:14-15.
We
find in Daniel 6 that King Darius thought of setting Daniel over the whole
realm because he saw that Daniel had an excellent spirit in him. The governors and the satraps were jealous of
Daniel, who was so faithful to His God and to the King that they tried to find
fault with him concerning the law of his God.
They established a royal statute that whoever petitions any god or man
for thirty days, except King Darius, shall be cast into the den. In fact, King
Darius did not know the real purpose behind this decree.
Although,
Daniel knew about the statute, it did not hinder his prayers to the living
God. Daniel 6:10 says, “And in his upper room, with his windows
open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day and
prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”
We
read in Daniel 6:16 that Daniel was cast into the den of lions and the
following morning the king asked Daniel, “…has
your God whom you serve continually been able to deliver you from the
lions? Daniel’s reply was, “My God
sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before
Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”
If
you are going through tough circumstances like this in your life, please do not
get troubled. Jesus Christ is there for you. He is standing beside you to help
you. He will send His angels for you whenever you call upon him for help. Psalm
91:11 says, “For He shall give His
angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall
bear you up…You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the
serpent you shall trample underfoot.”
Be
blessed!
