Isn't it amazing how God continues to get his people in positions of authority? Now, Daniel is a most trusted advisor to Darius. Not only that but Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah hold prominent positions in the Babylonian government.
Do you recognize those 3 names? How about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? How about the fiery furnace? Now how is it that these 3 were tossed in the fiery furnace, extra hot I might add, but Nebuchadnezzar sees 4 men walking in the furnace? Who do you think the 4th man was?
Sorry, got away from Daniel. Apparently the ability to intrepret dreams was a big deal back in the day. This is what got Daniel into his prominent position.
As a kid the story of Daniel and the lions den fascinated me. As an adult it still does. Throw a stone over the entrance. Just Daniel and the lions chillin. I find it interesting that the King came first thing in the morning to check on Daniel. Wonder what he was thinking as he approached? Daniel is fine, not a scratch. I know what you are thinking! The lions just were not hungry right? I don't think so. The false accusers with there wives and children were tossed in the lions den. Before they reached the floor of the den they were overpowered and their bones crushed. What was the difference?
God is faithful! God is in control! Do you believe that? Do you live life trusting a faithful God?
Do I??? Daniel did!
Till next time...
