Lion Proof

APR 17, 2024

Today’s Scripture

Daniel 6:10, NLT

But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God.

Today’s Word

Daniel was serving the king of Persia and was noted as having an excellent spirit and great wisdom. He consistently maintained his faith while living in a foreign land and refused to waver even when the king issued a decree that no one could pray to anyone but him. Despite the threats, he kept praying to Jehovah and ended up being thrown into the lions’ den. But when you have this attitude of faith, God will fight your battles for you. He sent an angel to close the mouths of the lions.

That’s what happens when you live your days exercising your faith. When you’re in a difficult situation, you rest in faith knowing that the same God who kept Daniel safe in the lions’ den has put a hedge of protection around you. You don’t shrink back in fear with thoughts such as, “Why is this happening to me?” Instead, you rise up in faith and say, “I am lion proof. I am coming out stronger, increased, and promoted just as with Daniel. God is even in control of my enemies.”

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You are the One who opens doors and gets me to where I want to be. Show me if there is anything that is holding me back from having an excellent spirit. I declare that I will be faithful and not shrink back and take the easy way out when pressure comes. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
