Daniel was cast into the Lion’s Den
and it was sealed overnight.
Here Rubens shows us the moment
when the stone was pulled back
by his friend the next morning.
The beast’s eyes are dazzled by the light
and we see Daniel
giving thanks to God for his deliverance.
In modern times
I am sure you all at various times
have had your Soul or inner world
cast into the Pit, and you have survived.
Sometimes I feel like this
but have learned
to make my Soul invisible to beasts.
I suggest you do the same.
