Creative activities based on the Bible story of Daniel is thrown into the lion's den
In Daniel chapter 6, we find the story of how Daniel's faith and courage led him to be thrown into a lion's den. King Darius had appointed Daniel as one of three administrators over the kingdom, but his rivals were jealous and plotted against him. They tricked the king into issuing a decree that no one could pray to anyone except the king for thirty days. Daniel refused to follow the decree and continued to pray to God, resulting in his arrest and punishment. However, God miraculously shut the lions' mouths and Daniel emerged unharmed. This story teaches us about the power of prayer, faith, and courage, and that God is faithful to those who honor Him. It also shows us that we should remain faithful to God, no matter the cost, and trust in His protection and provision.
