“When Daniel knew that the writing was signed,
he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open
toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times
that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God,
as was his custom since early
days.”
DANIEL 6:10
I
have found through personal experience that the lion’s den usually
comes about the same time as the revelation. The burden to pray comes
with the edict forbidding prayer; Daniel labors for God’s purpose while
Daniel’s enemies labor for his death; the answer comes along with a
death sentence. This is not unusual, but quite common. Apostolic
revelation and apostolic persecution go
hand-in-hand. Revelation does not come to us apart from our
circumstance, our environment, our struggle, our wrestling.
Many
want the revelation but they do not want the lion’s den. They want the
angels but not the enemies. Yet the depth of the revelation is measured
by the depth of the suffering, and if our sufferings are light, then our
revelation is shallow.
