Daniel 6:19-21 19At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
21Daniel answered, “O king, live forever!
Daniel was locked in the lion’s den to be killed by lions under the orders of King Darius. When King Darius sarcastically asked Daniel has his God rescued him from the lions, Daniel answered saying, “O king, live forever!”
Notice, Daniel was not upset, angry, or bothered by the actions of the king. Daniel knew who his God was and he had nothing but, love and forgiveness for King Darius.
Whenever we’re in a situation where we have to forgive someone who has wronged us, know the mindset of the God we serve. God’s command us to forgive and love our enemies. Just do it. We may not feel like it or feel that it’s necessary but, since God commands it, just do it and we’ll be blessed for our obedience.
