Make no mistake. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den, but it was God alone who could have delivered him. The lion’s mouths were supernaturally shut. Yet read this carefully. Daniel 6:24 says that the king gave the command. All those who had accused Daniel wrongfully were thrown into the lion’s den.

It says, “…and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.” They were ravenous beasts that destroyed. 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

What does your character reveal to others? We are saved to be conformed to His image. The Lord uses our impossible circumstances to expose the hidden that would destroy our faith. The intensity of the crucible’s fire only burns off that which would tarnish our testimony.

When the three Hebrew young men were thrown into the fiery furnace, only what had bound them was burned off. I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit what is keeping you bound.
