Praying for your spiritual refreshment this week Pastor and for satan to be subdued. It must be important if all of these distractions have occurred already. - Jon Griffeth
“God is faithful!”
“God is faithful!”
Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJV 1900)
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God...
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Daniel was not hurt! An angel from God had shut the mouths of the lions because God found Daniel innocent before Him. God had protected him from the lions!

The king joyfully ordered to have Daniel lifted from the den! Not even a scratch was found on Daniel! He had remained faithful, trusting in his faithful God, and God delivered him.
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
