What Does Daniel 6:19 Mean?
As soon as morning comes, the king rises very early and hurries to the den of lions. His haste betrays the hope and fear warring within him through the long night. He cannot wait to learn whether the God of Daniel has done what he himself could not.
The king's urgent steps reveal a heart stirred to expectation. He has spoken of deliverance; now he runs to see if it is true. There is something instructive in this eagerness, for those who hope in God watch for the morning. The night of grief is long, but it gives way to a dawn in which the king will discover that faith in the living God is not placed in vain.
