Lunch for a Lion
The lion is one of the most fearsome animals in the animal world. It looks majestic and regal, and is called “The King of the Jungle.” It moves smoothly and quietly, often hiding until the right time to attack. He is sly and sneaky. Yet the lion is a raging beast, ready to devour other animals to fill its own belly. It is not content with merely harming other animals. It wants to destroy them, to devour them, to leave nothing behind. From behind the safety glass at the zoo, the lion looks impressive. In the wild, the lion is to be feared, to be avoided. This feared lion is the animal that God uses to teach us about the horrible and deadly desire that Satan has for us. Satan is our great adversary, who is like a lion, desiring to devour our souls. He promises safety and satisfaction, but at the end, he becomes the devourer of our soul. He leaves a pile of bones behind. Today, as we look at God’s warning about Satan, listen with an open mind, examining your life for the unguarded areas where Satan might attack and destroy you

Integrity: Its Greatest Test Yet
Integrity: Its Greatest Test Yet Daniel Chapter Six A new government but the same old human nature * The plot against Daniel included jealousy, deception, murder and flattery. (verses 4-9) * Even Daniel’s enemies acknowledged that he was reliable, neither corrupt nor negligent. The ideal set up for a compromise (verses10-14 * The new law only forbade the making of petitions to God, and that for only 30 days out of the year, one month out of an entire lifetime. * Why not pray in a closet for 30 days instead of in front of his window? * It was not as though he was asked to deny his faith or publicly worship an idol or image. * Daniel knew the 70 year duration of their captivity was up. His people could soon return to Jerusalem. He prayed his whole life for this, why die now, it seems utterly pointless. They called for a stone to be placed over the door of the lions den with the king’s seal on it so Daniel’s situation could not be changed! (verse 17) * Many of us know of another case where a STONE was to seal an opening so the situation could not be changed! * This is not a darling little children’s Sunday school story! Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him standing firm in the faith… (1 Peter 5:8,9) There’s an exciting dimension to living in our Babylon (vs. 25-28) * There are gloriously intense encounters with God! * Ultimately Babylon can’t destroy you, if you’re living a life of integrity. * It’s great to see worldly heathen kings becoming so impressed with our God that they influence entire empires!
