”And
when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had
trusted in his God.” (Daniel 6:23 b NIV)
The foremost Biblical characters are
typically presented as ordinary people, who commit various sins, but yet, they
can be examples in God’s Kingdom in that they have received forgiveness and
restoration.
Daniel though is
unique. He is, with the exception of Jesus, the only one of whom nothing
negative is told. He is portrayed as a sinless person and God was able to
achieve great things in and through his life.
Today’s Bible
verse describes the climax following the dramatic scene when Daniel was thrown
into the lion’s den because he obeyed God more than people. He had continued to
openly pray to his God, even though the King’s dictate stated that prayers
could only be said to King Dareios for a thirty day period. But God looked
after His servant, no wound was found on
him. Even though he, as a human, was certain to meet death when he was
thrown to the lions, he suffered no injuries. It’s worth trusting God.
Prayer
Jesus, thank You that You, in the same way
that You protected Daniel, can protect all of those who place their trust in
You yet today.
