When the Lions Surround You, God Still Protects

Have you ever felt like you’ve been thrown into a lions’ den? Maybe not with real lions like Daniel, but with lions of a different kind — lions of poverty, financial problems, witchcraft, spiritual attacks, betrayal, sickness, or discouragement.

The truth is: life has lions. But there is also a God who shuts the lions’ mouths.

Psalm 25: God Will Not Forsake You

In Psalm 25:1–6, David lifts up his soul to the Lord, asking for protection and guidance. He prays, “O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me.”

This is a cry we can all relate to. When problems rise against us like hungry lions, we can either give in to fear — or trust God to fight for us.

And the promise of this Psalm is clear: God will not abandon those who love Him.

Daniel 6: God Shuts the Lions’ Mouths

Daniel refused to stop praying to God, even when it meant breaking the king’s law. His enemies had him thrown into the lions’ den. By all human logic, Daniel should have been torn apart.

But the lions never touched him. Why? Because Daniel served the Living God, and that God sent an angel to shut the lions’ mouths.

What Are Your Lions?

Today, we may not face physical lions, but we face spiritual and practical ones:

🦁 Evil spirits that attack your peace.

🦁 Financial problems that roar loudly in your life.

🦁 Poverty that tries to devour your hope.

🦁 Witchcraft or jealousy working against you.

🦁 Family troubles, betrayal, sickness, or fear.


These are lions designed to frighten you, weaken you, or destroy your faith.

But God…

The same God who saved Daniel is still the same today. He will not forsake those who love Him.

He can close the mouths of every spiritual lion.

He can silence poverty and provide for you.

He can cancel the plans of witchcraft against your life.

He can turn your enemies’ weapons back on themselves.


Your part? Stay faithful, like Daniel. Keep praying, like David. Lift your soul to God, even when it feels hopeless.

The Lesson

The lions are real. The den is real. But the power of God is greater.

When you trust Him fully, you will come out of the den untouched, unharmed, and victorious. And the very problems that tried to consume you will be silenced forever.

So today, remember this: God does not forsake His children. The lions will not win.

SHOUT ALL THE MORE — When Prayer Feels Pointless

Image
  “Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’” — Mark 10:48 Have you ever felt like giving up on prayer? Like your cries to God are falling on deaf ears? That maybe God isn’t listening, or worse—maybe He doesn’t care? That’s exactly what Bartimaeus could have felt in Mark 10. He was blind, desperate, and sitting by the roadside when he heard Jesus was passing by. This was his chance. So he cried out, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” But instead of support, he was met with rebuke. The crowd told him to be quiet, to stay in his place, to stop disturbing the Master. But Bartimaeus refused to be silenced. He shouted even louder. And that, right there, is the key: when life tells you to give up, when the devil whispers that your prayers are useless—shout all the more. Many are quietly suffering because they’ve allowed discouragement to silence their faith. But not Bartimaeus. He kept his eyes on Jesus (even with...

Higher Ways for a Higher Month – July with Isaiah 55:9

Image
As we step into July—the seventh month of the year—we are reminded that seven symbolizes completion and spiritual perfection in biblical numerology. It’s a powerful point in the year to reflect, realign, and rise. The Word of God in Isaiah 55:9 says: > "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." This is a divine reminder that while we plan, strive, and try to make sense of our lives, God is already operating on a higher plane. His vision is broader. His intentions are purer. His outcomes are far better than anything we can imagine. What does this mean for us this July? Trust more, stress less. God is not limited by our limitations. Align your goals with heaven’s priorities. Seek His wisdom before rushing into decisions. Rest in His timing. Delays are not denials; they are divine recalibrations. Think higher. Let your mindset reflect faith, not fear. Let July be the month you surrender...
