Daniel 6:16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!"
This is a fascinating story to me, in that, the king, who issues the decree, cannot revoke it. It must be carried out and the king is just sick that it has to be carried out on Daniel. His words here to Daniel are sincere. He is relieved in the morning when Daniel has been saved. This verse has my word for the year in it, rescue. I have been pondering this word quite a bit as of late. God has recently revealed that it is me to whom the word refers, for right now anyway. I am learning to trust in God to rescue me. The words of King Darius rang out to me today as I read them, as if he was saying them to me. The Word of God is living, for sure, and He knows exactly what we need to read and when. God knows how His words will penetrate our souls and give us peace deep within. Thanks be to God, for His Word is life!
