Because he believed

Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. – Daniel 6.23

How did Daniel survive the lion’s den? The Bible says that the Lord shut the lion’s mouths so they could not eat Daniel. We are not privy to how that night went, but we do know the aftermath and we do know why Daniel got through it.

No manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

I don’t think that you or I will be cast into a lion’s den because of our faith. But we are all going to go through tough times. We are all going to face our own lion’s den circumstances.

We can, however, get through the times when we, like Daniel, believe God is able to carry us through. Our trials may not be just like his and we may suffer some bumps and bruises, but we can be sure that God will carry us through and be with us. At this time God had a greater purpose in showing the king His power

God may not always deliver us from trials. We may have to go through them and may suffer through them, but we can be assured that He will deliver us from this present world and our souls will go through with ‘no manner of hurt’ if we believe in Him.
