He Shuts The Mouth Of Lions.

“My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty.””Daniel‬ ‭6:22‬ 

‭Daniel would open his window three times a day to pray to God. One day all of Daniel's enemies came together and went to the King to sign a decree that anyone who asked for anything from God or from any human other than the king that they would be thrown into a pit of lions. Daniel still chose to be faithful to God and pray to ask God for help, when the king found out it made him very angry, they threw Daniel into the pit of lions a stone was put over the pit so no one could save him. The king then went back to the palace and had a restless night. The next morning the king went to the pit and asked for the stone to be moved, he called out for Daniel and asked him if the God he faithfully served saved him? Daniel replied and said yes, He sent angels to shut the mouths of the lions. The king ordered for Daniel to be pulled up from the pit, Daniel was not hurt at all because he chose to trust in God instead of having faith in man. Those enemies that asked for the decree were then thrown into the lion's pit with their families and the lions immediately leaped on them and ate them before they could make it to the bottom. See Daniel was not only thrown into a lion's den, he was thrown into a den of lions, it wasn't just a place lions once slept it was a place they were at and had not been fed recently. If you feel like you're in a pit and like you're trapped with lions and things the enemy has sent to hurt you all around you take courage like Daniel did, trust in God because He will shut the mouth of any lion that comes against you! Today, remind yourself of the fearlessness that Daniel felt knowing God would not let Him down, that is what we should feel and act like every day. The same God who shut the mouth of the lions is at work in every area of your life today. Trust in God not in the work of man, do not let anyone tell you that you cannot pray, read your Bible, or spend quality time with God. God has all things under control. There is no need to fear anyone or anything that comes against you if God remembered to send angels to shut the mouths of the lions then He will remember to send angels to you and your bravery also. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, “May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”” Daniel‬ ‭6:16‬ ‭ “A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den. The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel.” Daniel‬ ‭6:17‬ ‭ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭ “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
