DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS - 17th Dec

  LEARNING TO WAIT ON GOD: TRUST (Daniel cap 6).

Daniel worked for a king in a pagan land where it was against the law to pray to God for help. One day Daniel was discovered breaking the law and was cast into a den of lions. A stone was roled over the entrance, locking him in. There he waited through the long night for deliverence...trusting God.

I've thought about that experience lots of times, those anxious hours we spent waiting for deliverance. But only when we began to nurture the wait with trust, did deliverance come. If, like Daniel, you're waiting in some den of helplessness, won't you spend the time as he did - trusting God? (Sue Kidd)
