262. Daniel’s Protector

As Seen in Dan_6:19-23

Daniel’s testimony regarding God’s protection is explicit. There are seven things about the protection. It was—

1. Divine in its help, for it was “God” who shielded him.

2. Personal in its benefit, for Daniel said, “My God.”

3. Angelic in its medium, for the “angel” shut the lions’ mouths.

4. Responsive in its blessing. There are three reasons given why Daniel was delivered: “innocency was found” in him; he had “done no hurt” to the king; and he “believed in his God.”

5. Gladdening in its outcome, for the king was “exceeding glad” when he found Daniel safe.

6. Delivering in its end, for Daniel was “taken out of the den.”

7. Perfect in its service, for “no manner of hurt was found upon him”
