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).
