My Month Of Justice! Mal4:2

Daniel surpassed the rulers and satraps, because there was a superior spirit in him; and the king thought to set him over all the kingdom.
So the rulers and satraps looked for an opportunity to accuse Daniel in connection with the affairs of the kingdom. But they could find no occasion, nor any thing to reprove, because he was faithful, and there was no fault or evil found in him.
And the men said, We will find no occasion against this Daniel, unless we find one in the law of his God.
Then these chiefs and satraps came tumultuously to the king, and spoke to him thus: King Darius, live for ever!
All the chiefs of the kingdom, the stewards, the satraps, the counsellors and the governors are of the opinion that a royal edict should be published with a severe warning, to the effect that anyone who prays to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lionsden. Now, O king, confirm the defence, and write the decree, so that it may be irrevocable, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which is unchangeable. Then King Darius wrote the decree and the defence. When Daniel knew that the decree was written, he withdrew to his house, where the windows of the upper room were open towards Jerusalem; and three times a day he knelt down, prayed, and praised his God, as he had done before. Then these men went in with a commotion and found Daniel praying and calling on his God. Then they stood before the king and said to him about the royal defence: Didnt you write an interdict to the effect that anyone who within thirty days prayed to any god or man except you, O king, would be thrown into the lionsden? The king replied: "That is certain, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which is unchangeable. Then they spoke again, and said to the king, Daniel, one of the captives of Judah, has not heeded you, O king, nor the interdict which you have written; and he prays three times a day. The king was greatly distressed when he heard this, and he set his heart on rescuing Daniel, and worked until sunset to save him. But the men urged the king, saying, "Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians requires that any defence or decree confirmed by the king must be irrevocable. So the king gave orders that Daniel should be brought and thrown into the lions' den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve, deliver you. So they brought a stone and put it over the mouth of the pit, and the king sealed it with his ring and with his lords ring, so that nothing would be changed against Daniel.
Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting, and did not bring a concubine to him, nor was he able to sleep.
The king got up at dawn and hurried to the lion’s den.
As he approached the den, he called to Daniel with a sad voice. The king answered and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve steadfastly, been able to deliver you from the lions?
And Daniel said to the king: King, live for ever?
My God has sent his angel and shut the lions’ mouths, and they have done me no harm, because I was found innocent before him; and neither before you, O king, have I done anything evil.
Then the king was overjoyed and ordered Daniel to be taken out of the pit. Daniel was taken out of the pit, and no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
God is a God of justice,
he defends us when we are in trouble,
he doesn’t leave us alone,
he always has the best plans for us,
he confounds all those who rise up against us.
Psalms, 31:2 – O LORD, in you I will take refuge; let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in your righteousness.
Pray for justice in a specific situation.
It is only in the presence of God that we can find shelter, he is the one who is able to protect us when we are in danger, he is the one who shows us the way and leads us out of the reproach of our enemies.
Good morning to you all
Good day to you
