Frangena Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Daniel tells the king about the great God who sent his angels to come and shut the lions' mouths - A friend of mine said the lions went into fasting because God sent his Holy Spirit upon them! Daniel did not focus on the injustice done to him but on the outcome and God's response. This was a good evangelistic message to bring others to God. Our living God is always gracious. He has done many things for me too. I am so grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Daniel testified about God when out got out of the lion’s den by telling the king that God found no guilt in him and that God kept the lions mouths shut. The thing that might have happened if Daniel would have focused on injustice done instead on the positive of what God had done then maybe God would have opened the lion’s mouth because he was still in the cage. But instead he focused on what God had done. I have a whole life time that I could use as a testimony of God’s mercy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioned Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Q7. (Daniel 6:21-23) How does Daniel use his experience in the lions’ den to testify about God? What might have happened if, in his response to the king, Daniel had focused on the injustice done to him? What experience in your life might you use as a testimony of God’s mercy to you? What a great testimony! Daniel's being in a den with hungry, ferocious lions over night and to be found unharmed is an awesome testimony about the God he worships. If, in his response to the king, Daniel had focused on the injustice done to him he would have diverted the people away from the power of God to protect in the midst of any great harm to himself; putting in the minds of some that he had doubts that he would be protected against the lions. Daily God blesses me with good health, a place to call home, nourishment for my body and the freedom to worship Him. For these and others I give God praise!

Aleezah Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Q7. (Daniel 6:21-23) How does Daniel use his experience in the lions’ den to testify about God? What might have happened if, in his response to the king, Daniel had focused on the injustice done to him? What experience in your life might you use as a testimony of God’s mercy to you? 1). Daniel used his experience in the lion's den to testify that it is God's angels camped around him that prevented the lions from doing harm. 2). Only God would know the answer to this question. 3). The experience where I was trapped in a van during a torrential rainstorm with an 18 wheeler driving directly at me. God was merciful and redirected the 18 wheeler.

linda bass Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Daniel uses his experience in the lions' den to testify about God by telling the king how God had sent an angel to protect him from being eaten by the lions. If Daniel had focused on the injustice done to him, God wouldn't have received the glory and the king wouldn't have learned about the One True God. The experience in my life I might use as a testimony of God's mercy is, the times He meet my needs when I was out of work and by opening the door for me to get a new job.

Lionwolf Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Q7. (Daniel 6:21-23) How does Daniel use his experience in the lions' den to testify about God? What might have happened if, in his response to the king, Daniel had focused on the injustice done to him? What experience in your life might you use as a testimony of God's mercy to you? Daniel told the king that God had judged him and God found him innocent in his sight. God sent his angel to shut the lion's mouth. Daniel had not even been scratched. If Daniel had been spiteful toward the accusers or been or had focused on the injustice done to him the king might have been angered or might have been less inclined to be sympathetic to Daniel. But Daniel came out and he was praising God. This apparently made a big impression on the king. There have been times in my life when I became estranged from God and have become someone totally removed from God's grace. Fortunately God kept whispering in my ear never giving up on me. By his mercy he has led me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clelie Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Daniel in his wisdom pointed to the power of his God to the king that he was delivered from the lions because he did no wrong. Daniel witnessed the power of his God to the king instead of focusing on injustice'towards him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissi Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 I am seeing two sorts of rescue. First, God rescues slowly, but changing a horrible situation into a positive one. The life of Joseph who was twice imprisoned unjustly but after many years became the defacto ruler of Egypt is an example of His slow rescue. It seems to involve character "adjustment." The speedier sort of rescue happened to the Hebrews in the lion's den. Instantaneous, or nearly so, they were simply brought out of danger ... rescued by angels. And then, there are times when God chooses not to rescue. Stephen's stoning comes to mind. Why God rescues some and not others is a question I'll never be able to answer. Daniel seems to realize that the king could not rescue him, though he wanted to, so his life was in the hands of God alone. His final words (in the message version): “My God sent his angel, who closed the mouths of the lions so that they would not hurt me. I’ve been found innocent before God and also before you, O king. I’ve done nothing to harm you.” In a way, Daniel did focus on the injustice did to him. His final words in the den were both self-exonerating as well as praising God. It would have been easy for him to stop talking after "... they would not hurt me," but Daniel went on to proclaim his innocence. -- I am praying to be rescued right now.
