From time to time, we may have found ourselves in a difficult or dangerous situation. When we are in such a situation, some of us may try to live in denial, thinking that such a situation is just our imagination, though the reality is that it is not. Some of us
may even feel as if we have no way out and we may be tempted to give up or
despair. How many of us are willing to put our full trust in God, knowing that He will do what is best for us?
Today's reading reminds us that with God, there is no
problem too big, no situation too difficult or dangerous which He cannot
help us out. In today's reading, Daniel had full confidence and trust in
God's help and God saved him from the lions. This caused King Darius, who initially thought that there was no hope or way or solution to rescue Daniel, to
joyfully exclaim: "He is the living God, he endures for ever, his
sovereignty will never be destroyed and his kingship never end. He
saves, sets free, and works signs and wonders in the heavens and on
earth; he has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."
What does this mean to us? It means that if
God is on our side and watching over us, there is no reason for us to
fear. It also means that we must continuously and consistently trust in God, knowing that our salvation is in Him, and not in some other form or means. Let us therefore continue to build our relationship with Him and
trust Him just as Daniel did.
