Daniel6:20

20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel, and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God , is thy God whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions ?

This was a commendation both of Daniel and his God, though he served both very coar[illegible: 1 letter]ly.

Is he omnipotent: surely if ever he will put forth his power, it will be in thy case, for thou servest him continually, thou wilt not be frightned from his service by savage beasts, by ramping and roaring Lions, now it will appear what thy God will do for his Servant. Ah poor King, God is a better Master to his Servants than thou art; even to Daniel.
