Daniel 6:15-28
So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!
A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.
At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.
Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”
The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.
“For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end. He rescues and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”
So his enemies have him. The king's hands are tied by his own decree, but God's hand is not. Daniel was as safe from harm in the lion pit as his friends had been in the furnace.
Why?
Because Daniel trust in the Lord and he was found innocent in God's sight so the Lord shut the mouths of the lions.
The king issued a decree that in every part of his kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel. Daniel witnessed the great honor of the Holy Name of the Lord!

經文多次出現加蓋玉璽4次,不可更改也出現4次。強調君王的權柄,居然被下面的人拿來利用。自己的權柄被自己要脅。卻陷入自己的矛盾、愁煩。
但以理被丟入獅子坑,毫髮無傷。因為有神聖的靈在他身上,真正的權柄使獅子、狼、豹都和平相處一如亞當和動物相處。如何讓人看見我們背後的神。
大立烏好像認識神的人,但是卻很容易愁煩,睡不著覺!我們知道神可以救我,我們卻又常常無法完全交託!仍在擔心、憂慮、害怕!
最後他知道神的權柄不會產生矛盾,遵行神話語的人不會陷入困境!

How?
May my life could like Daniel trusted in the Lord, and there is innocent in God's sight and nor done anything wrong before men.
