Daniel, a distinguished man of nobility, integrity and faithfulness was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. Daniel experienced trials, changes and shifts but God publicly promoted Daniel under every King he served. Daniel walked in the Favor of God and prospered and although the King delighted in his distinguished leadership and wisdom, some of Daniel’s colleagues hated him and searched for reasons to discredit and demote him. 

Unable to find anything corrupt to accuse Daniel of, these haters developed an elaborate wicked plot. These satraps and commissioners approached the king and stated that “All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors, the governors” consulted together to pray to Kind Darius only, anyone who goes against this decree within the next thirty days will be thrown into the lion’s den. 

The statement made by the satraps and commissioners before the king was a lie because they included Daniel in a statement that he did not agree or consult with these men about. Nevertheless, Daniel was aware of the wicked plot and openly continued to pray to God three times a day where others could see Him. 

Daniel didn’t allow trials to stop his communication with God. When the satraps and commissioners witnessed Daniel’s actions they went before the king, reminding him of the decree resulting in Daniel being thrown in the lion’s den. 

But God protected Daniel in the pit, the lion’s mouths were shut and Daniel was not hurt because he was found innocent before the LORD. God’s Vindication & Power came through. The same individuals who sought to destroy Daniel because of his devotion to God were destroyed with the same plot they orchestrated for Daniel’s attempted demise. 

The Boomerang effect set in. These satraps and commissioners went to the king to have the king give a decree to have Daniel thrown in the Lion’s den and the very thing was commanded of them because they maliciously accused Daniel. 

Not only were they dealt with, their families were affected and thrown in. Don’t be discouraged, God knows how to handle those who maliciously plot against you whether it be a colleague a so-called friend, boss, neighbor, anyone. 

God’s word is true and will not return void, it is established and applies to everyone. God has the power to set everything straight. Trust God to Vindicate you. Boomerang!
