Daniel 6:6-27 . Daniel in the lions’ den
The story of Daniel in the lions’ den is the story of one who found protection and safety in his faith. Advent is a time to acknowledge our longing-our many kinds of longing. One of those is the longing for security, safety, and protection. It is not only for ourselves, but for everything we value: our family, our communities, our country, even our world. Today, hope clashes with fear, and we learn again to trust in God.
