February 5 – KINGS AND LIONS


My God sent His angel and closed the mouths of the lions. They couldn’t hurt me because He found me innocent. O King, I’ve done nothing wrong. (Daniel 6:22)

                Accidents and audits, grievances and false claims, strikes, slowdowns, and litigation. The business world is filled with kings and lions who may oppose you. Will you be afraid? Or, will you trust that it is the Lord God who holds and determines your future?

                Daniel’s offense was that he prayed, staying faithful to His God, even when that act had been made illegal. He trusted the Lord, and he risked death to do what he knew was the right thing to do. Will you face the lions unafraid? You are assured by Jesus that you will be opposed; even persecuted (Matthew 5:10). But, Daniel rightly observed that no terrible punishment men may impose can harm a person who will live eternally with the living God.

When your opposition comes, view it as Daniel did; as a child of the King who has promised that His love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).
