and Your enemies are watching you closely to set you up for a lions’ den experience 

Unfortunately, Daniel was thrown into the den of the lions and a stone was laid on the mouth of it. But before that happened, the king told Daniel that God would deliver him since Daniel served Him continually.

Ironically, after leaving Daniel, the king went back to his palace and fasted all night. Early the next morning, he went to the lion’s den, crying out for Daniel, asking if God had been able to deliver him.

Daniel replied, “O king, live forever! 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.” The king immediately began to rejoice.

Later, the king threw Daniel’s enemies and their families into the lions’ den and the lions killed them.

In the end, the king made a decree for his kingdom to serve the God of Daniel, and Daniel succeeded in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Lesson #1

When your enemies throw you into the lion’s den, the angels of the Lord that encamp around you will shut the lions’ mouths.

Lesson#2

After God rescues you from the mouths of the lions, others will witness your mighty deliverance and will give their lives to Jesus.

Lesson #3

The people who set you up to be thrown into the lions’ den, will reap what they sow.  In other words, the trap they set for you will catch them instead.

Final thought

The righteous always win because they are like lions and that they serve the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who controls every lion in the den.
