THE LIONS'DEN
In the Bible, in Daniel 6, we read the account of the man of God, Daniel. This man was a man of prayer three times each day he was on his knees before God in prayer. At that time, the unbelieving world was steeped in religion; forthey worshippedfalse gods which, in reality, were no gods at all.
Daniel 6:7 tells of the decree made on behalf of the king; no one could pray to any god, but only to the king, for a period of thirty days. The penalty fordisobedience was to be cast into the den of lions. However, Daniel continued to pray unto his God, with the result that Daniel was cast into this den of lions.
In earlier times, criminals and Christians alike were thus tortured and killed. Paul described this present age, in which we are now living, as the latter days; things will not get better, but worse. We think of abortion - the cowardly act of killing helpless babies, of the fact that prayer and Bible reading are not allowed in public schools, and of the condition of the Church the Body of Cbrist today. For the most part, believers worship God spasmodically, whenever it is convenient. Or, to put it another way, they have a mountain-top experience, and the next day are in the valley.
However, Daniel worshipped God continually (Daniel 6:20). God rewarded his faithfulness by delivering Daniel from the lions' mouths. What an example forbelievers today to follow: being steadfast in the faith, always going forward in the work of the Lord! This, of course, is not possible by oneself. Titus2:11-12 teaches us thatthe grace of God not only brought salvation, but helps the believer to disown worldly lusts and to look for that blessed hope, the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
"Dare to be a Daniel,
dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known!"
