Scripture:
“He rescues people and sets them free by working great miracles. Daniel's God has rescued him from the power of the lions.”” Daniel 6:27 CEV
Observation:
King Darius was tricked into making Daniel spend the night in a den of lions by some jealous advisors. He didn’t want to do it, but they used his own decree against him. When he went to the lion’s den the next morning, he found Daniel untouched by the lions and told his people what the Lord had done for Daniel. He also told them they were to worship Him as God.
Application:
God can show Himself strong to kings and rulers, no matter how bad we think they are. He can demonstrate His power and cause them to turn if He wants to. The ungodly king here was describing Daniel’s God by saying, “He rescues people and sets them free by working great miracles. Daniel’s God has rescued him from the power of the lions.” May God work so strongly in our lives that the world around us sees His goodness and decides to serve Him.
Prayer:
Father, live big in and through my life. Teach me to walk with You at higher and higher levels. I want to know You and to see Your power demonstrated in such a way that it cannot be denied by rulers, authorities, or anyone else. Show Yourself to the leadership of my country.
Your Son,
Jeff
