Justice Belongs to the Lord
24 And the king commanded, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. And before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.

Justice Belongs to the Lord
The fate of Daniel’s accusers in the lions’ den is sobering. Their schemes backfired, and they fell under the very judgment they intended for the righteous. This moment reminds us that God does not ignore evil. While His justice may seem delayed, it is never denied. The Lord vindicated Daniel, not because of his strength, but because Daniel trusted in the One who delivers. Yet, if justice were meted out purely according to our sin, who could stand? Like the conspirators, we too have rebelled in heart and deed. But thanks be to God, judgment did fall, on Jesus. The cross stands as the great reversal: the innocent Son of God suffered for the guilty. In Christ, God’s justice and mercy meet. Take heart: the same Lord who shut the lions’ mouths has silenced the accusations against you through the blood of His Son. In Him, you are safe forever.
