A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Daniel had no way out of his situation.  Even the person who thought they had all power, the king, could not change Daniel’s situation. Death was all but inevitable for Daniel. Are you looking at what appears to be an inevitable death? Maybe not physical death, but the death of your marriage, death of your finances, death of your joy, death of your peace, death of self-worth, or death of ___. 

Glory be to God that we serve a living God that has power over life and death. 

Let’s look at what the king did. The king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep. The king was fasting and praying for the safety of Daniel. Even as a nonbeliever, the king knew the power of fasting. I also think that he was sorrowful and was asking the God of Daniel for forgiveness.

The bible says in verse 22 that ultimately, God saved Daniel because He found him innocent. But it’s the testimony of king that still rings true for us today 

He rescues, and he saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”

And He will rescue us. Beloved, allow the testimony of King to encourage you. No matter what the situation looks like, only God has the final say. Daniel was facing inevitable death, and no one on the face of the earth could have changed his situation. BUT GOD!! We serve a God that sits high and looks low. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He loves us. Glory to his name! As we continue in our fasting, put that situation that appears to be heading for inevitable death before God, and watch Him work. Remember He is a miracle worker.

Peace and Blessings,

Pastor Loretta
