Both we and our children should always trust in
God.
Upon
hearing Daniel's response from the lion's den,
King
Darius was overjoyed and did not know what to do
and
commanded that Daniel be lifted out of the lion's den.
When Daniel
came up from the den, not a single part of his body was harmed.
This
was because he had trusted in his God (Daniel 6:23).
As I
meditate on this passage, I am reminded of Daniel's three friends,
Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego. They were thrown into a furnace
heated
seven times hotter by King Nebuchadnezzar for not bowing to the golden image.
Yet,
they experienced no burns, their hair was not singed,
their
clothes were unharmed, and they did not even smell of smoke.
Consequently,
King Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that
God
had sent His angel to save His servants who trusted in Him (3:19-21, 27-28).
In
this way, God delivers His children who trust in Him from the perils of this
harsh world,
such
as the lion's den, and ensures that not a single part of their body is harmed.
Therefore,
both we and our children should always trust in God, the eternal rock
(Isaiah
26:4), with all our hearts (Proverbs 3:5), and trust in the God
who
helps and protects us (Psalms 115:9, 10, 11).
