Listen "Daniel 6 - God’s Sovereignty Delivers You Out of Your Lion’s Den"
Episode Synopsis
In Daniel 6, the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den is one of the most well-known in all Scripture. King Darius preferred Daniel above the other two presidents whom he placed over the affairs of Babylon because of the extraordinary spirit within him. (Daniel 6:3) Daniel had distinguished himself, so the King intended to appoint him over all his kingdom just as God had sovereignly planned.God divinely directs the other presidents and straps to plot against Daniel to remove these evil men from leadership in the new reign of the Medo-Persians empire. (Daniel 6:4-9) They deceived King Darius into entrapping Daniel in order to kill him, not realizing that God intents to reveal His sovereignty and easily delivers Daniel from the even the mouth of lions. (Daniel 6:22)King Darius learns God’s way is perfect. (Psalm 18:30) After being greatly distressed about having to punish Daniel, he put his faith in Daniel’s God saying, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you”. (Daniel 6:16) God does indeed rescue Daniel by sending an angel to shut the mouths of lions. So King Darius recognized God's power, trusted Him, and commanded his people to worship Him (Daniel 6:25-27).
