“AN
IMPOSSIBLE VIEW”
Reflecting
on Daniel 6:16
16
So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the
lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve
continually, rescue you!” 17 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. 18 Then 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.19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried
to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel
in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom
you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” 21 Daniel
answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his
angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me,
because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong
before you, Your Majesty.”
“AN
IMPOSSIBLE VIEW”
Daniel
loved and lived for God,
And
trusted in all He could do,
So,
when you follow plans of God,
Trust
God to rescue you.
For
life's full of twists and turns,
And
God knows what you need,
He
has a plan for you to learn,
To
calm you and set you free.
Know you are
not of this world,
And
worldliness wants it's due,
It's wicked
and undeterred,
And it's
coming after you.
But God will
supply all you need,
As His
Angels guard over you,
He'll end
all your want and greed,
Through
a loving plan of rescue.
So,
whenever you're troubled,
With
an impossible view,
And
life has you puzzled,
Trust
God to rescue you.
