No matter how familiar you are with the Bible, Daniel and the Lion’s Den is one of those stories that almost everyone in our culture has heard. We often think of it as just a children’s story. If a Bible story contains animals, it’s almost guaranteed to be in a Children’s Bible. An Oklahoma newspaper interviewed some kids about the lesson of Daniel and the Lion’s Den. Elizabeth, age 11, said, “The lesson for the lions is to keep your mouth shut and to trust in God in every way and every day.” Adrian, age 9, said, "Sometimes, God will not answer your prayers, but that does not mean He does not love you.
