Daniel 3:81 - "All you beasts, wild and tame, bless the Lord; praise and exalt Him, above all forever".

Do you know who Daniel is?
No, not the Padilla one. But the one who was almost devoured by the lions, yes,the big cats.
And maybe you would ask, what is he thinking about playing around with the lions. Well, in reality he is not. He was put in a den with the lions as a punishment.
And punishment for what?
For being "disobedient" to the laws passed by a king, and being true to his one and only King, our Almighty Father.
But, I said "almost devoured". Because he escaped death. And by how? Let us just quote Daniel:
And Daniel answered, "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...".
Isn't that great? Isn't that great to hear? Isn't that great to know?
God is always with us. Sickness, pain, suffering, fear and death would continue to stalk us. Let us just give it all back to good and implore His protection and strength. He will be there with you for sure.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, I ca never forget that in my neediness and affliction, You came and rescued me. While I was a slave to sin, You sent Your Son to deliver my soul. Deliver me from the destruction of selfish desires and continue to seek Your Holy will and be obedient in You. Amen +
