Daniel 6 tells us about Daniel’s trip into the lions den.
Daniel was not liked by those who wanted his place. People around him were envious of him and his position with the king, so they moved in to get rid of him. They were caught up in the things of the world. They wanted the prestige and the power that came with the right hand man position of the king. They were willing to do anything to get that position. They did not know God. But sometimes in our day there are people who know God but are so hung up in getting their worldly due they will twist what God has said to ift them and tar others down.
We can live in the lions den, and we can put others in the lions den. Sometimes we lose sight of what God has called us to do and we get caught up in the beauty and riches this world offers us.
We need to stay focused on God. We need to trust in thee promises that we are told and know that God will follow through and be there for us. Just as He was to Daniel.
So do not get hung up on those around you making life a little harder, and throwing the road blocks out there. Remain focused on God and what He has called you to do. Also remain focused on what God has called you to do, so that you are not the one throwing others in the lions den.
