PASTOR'S CORNER
Danielle and the Lions
In 1 Kings, Chapter 13, we examine the account of a man of God who prophesied to King Jeroboam. He later was tricked by an old prophet into disobeying a directive from God to return to his home without eating bread or drinking water in that place. As a result of his disobedience, the man of God was killed by a lion as he journeyed home and the lion stood guard over his carcass until the old prophet came and gathered his body to be buried. Then in the book of Daniel, Chapter 6, the prophet Daniel was thrown into a den of hungry lions and lived to be a president in Darius’ kingdom. These stories sound a bit unbelievable, don’t they?” But know with certainty that the Bible is truth and strange things do happen.
In international news, reported by the associated press dated June 11, 2005, there was an interesting story coming out of Ethiopia. If you have followed world events, you know that over 3 million people in Ethiopia currently face hunger. Hunger is not just limited to humans but also to wild animals indigenous to those regions.
One evening in June, a young woman was attacked by seven men intent on raping her and selling her into slavery. (Her name was not given in the article but for this lesson let’s call her ‘Danielle’). She screamed for help but no one came to her aid. Suddenly from out of the bush, a couple of hungry lions emerged and ran off these would-be assailants. The story goes on to say that the lions never touched or harmed the girl but rather stood guard over her, as a lioness protects her cubs until those who would help the young lady arrived. Once the danger passed, the lions left. What a great testimony of the mighty God we serve. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Even now, God does the miraculous and sends His angels to shut the mouths of hungry lions or rescue those who trust in the Lord and call on His name in times of trouble.
Thank God miracles are yet happening today!
