When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?"
The book of Daniel teaches us about people who were envious of Daniel’s relationship with King Darius, that jealously conspired and spun an evil scenario that would force the king to sentence the respected prophet to death in a lions' den. What those conspirators failed to understand was that Daniel belonged to and worked for God. Under God’s authority and protection, the lions' den became Daniel’s den with the lions as Daniel's tamed visitors. Inside Daniel’s den, the lions came under God’s authority and those that worked for God were given rule over the beasts. Working for God obviously offers some very serious perks and privileges – if, and only if, you have Daniel’s kind of faith. So what kind of faith do you have?
