Pastor Joshua’s Two Minute Blog:
There is nothing fun about a lion’s den, that is unless your the lion. The wild, powerful and predatory instinct of a lion kills without mercy or remorse and yet Daniel found himself locked away with these massive cats awaiting a certain death. Or was he?
Often we hear people say, “God would never…” but for Daniel God had placed him face to face with very real and deadly lions and for one reason: “That your God, whom you continually serve may deliver you.”
For some it may seem as God sort of made His point backwards. But we cannot loose site of the fact that God didn’t place Daniel in the lions den, Daniel’s uncompromising faith, in God, put Daniel in the den of lions…and God delivered him!
I often look at my own circumstances and wonder, “How did I get here?” Or “What have I done wrong to find myself in this trap?” Certainly, at times, we can all make poor life choices that place us in challenging circumstances. But not every adversity is because of something negative you have done; nor have you arrived in such a place because God has put you there.
Again, consider Daniel…he was placed in the den of certain death because He loved God with all of his heart, soul and being. It was known to Daniel’s enemies, friends and earthly king Daniel continually worshipped and served God above all others. The result? He was now face to face with lions. Was this a test of faith? Certainly! Was it a personal bad decision followed by worsening situation? Certainly not!
I tend to think everyone knew (except the lions), from Darius to Daniel, somehow Daniel’s God was going to deliver Him. Do you know why? “Because I was found blameless before him.” Like Job, despite how bad the situation became, Daniel didn’t give up on God’s deliverance. You may have questions, doubts and even lion like struggles but never give up on God’s love for you and His desire to deliver you from all adversity because you are committed to a life that is blameless before Him.
This amazing testimony of uncompromising faithfulness, a blameless heart and God’s miraculous work should encourage us to better understand our own “lion’s den” moments and remember the conclusion of our story can read like the king’s decree, when we are delivered,
“I decree that in every part of my kingdom people should tremble with terror in front of Daniel’s God, the living God who continues forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed. His power lasts to the end of time. He saves, rescues, and does miraculous signs and amazing things in heaven and on earth. He saved Daniel from the lions.”
May God deliver you from your lion’s den and allow the fame of His name be spread far and wide!
Blessings – Pastor JOSHUA
