Regardless of the plots of men, or the circumstances of situations, we must remain set in our position on God. In the story of Daniel, God could have turned the king’s heart and changed the decree, but that testimony would not have impacted as many. Even when we can’t predict God’s plan and it looks as though the lions, our situation, will devour us, we still choose to believe, worship, and honor God unashamedly, and trust that He sees us and will work it out for our good (Romans 8:28).

Daniel 6:7 All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. 10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

22 My God sent His angel and shut the lions mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you. 23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.
