How to Shut a Lion’s Mouth

Spread the love

Dan. 6:22 “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.”

This verse tells us that faith can shut the mouths of lions. So let me ask you… what lions are you faced with at the moment? What is it that causes you to worry and fear? Sooner or later we will face the lions whether they come in the form of health problems, opposition and slander, financial concerns, persecution… May we learn as Paul did that even if all else falls around our side, the Lord will still stand with us. No doubt the apostle Paul had Daniel 6 in mind when we wrote:

“At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me…but the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.” (2 Tim 4:17)

God can shut the lion’s mouth, in whatever form it comes. Stand firm in your faith. And one day, in the Millennial Kingdom, all of the lion’s mouths shall be shut for good and we shall reign with our Lord forever.
