Daniel and the lions den

Again and again in Daniel we see Daniels faithfulness AND trust in God at such a young age. His faith is so inspiring and should be to all. The king trusted and honored him so much but the people did not like him. He had such amazing character and love that I'm sure made the people feel insecure about themselves and like he was a threat to them. But Daniel was just serving God! He loved His God and was faithful to Him. The people just didn't want him around and sometimes our faith in God does scare others and just show them something new and different that they may not like. Did this cause Daniel to change his behavior or faith though? No!! He remained faithful to God and continued praying even after a decree was issued. The king cared deeply about him to and did not want him to die. But following law he had to put Daniel in the lions den. I can just imagine Daniel in there worshipping God and loving those lions. Daniel was not harmed and neither was his faith. But instead the nation of Daniels was trusted to God and told to worship Him and praise Him for He lives forever!! He is always true and always there for us. Let us have faith like Daniel never ceasing and never failing!
