He worketh signs and wonders… Who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.Daniel 6:27
Sarah Utterbach says, “There have been times when I wanted God to rescue me from certain pits, but He didn’t. Why? Because He wanted me to learn that His grace was sufficient in the pit; and that He could give me peace in the presence of my enemies.” The question is never, “What will God do when all around me spells destruction?” The question is, “What will I do?” I may not be able to conquer the lions, but I don’t have to-that’s God’s job! Listen, “My God sent His angel and He shut the mouths of the lions… because I was found innocent in His sight… ” (Daniel 6:22 NIV). I may not be able to stop legislation from being enacted against me, but like Daniel I can call on my God. Listen again, “he kneeled upon his knees three times a day and prayed… ” (Daniel 6:10). Stop exhausting yourself fighting the enemy and the conditions around you-they are too many. Just lean on God and be innocent of the charges made by those who are jealous or afraid because of your position with God and men.
Note, God didn’t rescue Daniel from the pit; He just delivered him from the power of the enemy in it. The lions were still there when Daniel left, waiting for the next victim; but they had no power over him-and they have no power over you either! Daniel went on to prosper in the kingdom, and that’s exactly what God plans for you, too-so rejoice! That’s the word for you today.
