Deliverance in the Lions' Den

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel 6:16 unfolds as a portrait of consciousness under pressure. The den is not a pit of wild beasts but the arena of your unfurnished fears when fate seems set against you. The king’s decree mirrors the external conditions of your life, but the real decree is the inner conviction that the I AM within you remains unshaken. When the words, 'Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee,' arise, they are your own inner pronouncement from the I AM—an assurance you can claim now. Daniel’s faithful service points to a steady state of awareness, a continual alignment with your divine nature regardless of appearances. If fear roars, you do not retreat from it, you revise it. You declare that your God delivers you not by changing the outer scene first, but by uplifting your inner sight until fear loses its sovereignty. Deliverance, then, is not a change of circumstance but a waking of consciousness: you recognize that you are held in the seamless protection of the one Power you serve.
