Daniel’s enemies plotted to get him in trouble, and it worked….they got him thrown into a den of hungry lions! But Daniel prayed and trusted his God, and even when Daniel could have died in the lion’s den, God saved him – just like God saved Jesus from death on the cross. Let’s dare to be like Daniel! Let’s be brave and put our trust in the real King of Kings – JESUS!
