Daniel 4-6

Reading for Monday September 16, 2019

Daniel 6:25-28
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.  I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end  He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."  So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

God did not keep Daniel from being put into the lion's den.  He did, however, get him through the experience unharmed.

What experiences are we asking God to get us out of, when we should be asking for His help in getting through?
