Charles Stanley tells of a time when he was struggling with much opposition. In the midst of the turmoil, an elderly member of his church invited him to her apartment for lunch. He hesitated because he was busy and did not want to listen to some lecture, but he finally agreed. He met her downstairs at the retirement community where she lived. They had lunch together, and then she explained there was something she wanted to show him in her apartment. She assured Charles that it would not take long and it would be fine. She took him to a picture hanging on her living room, a picture of Daniel in the lions’ den. “Preacher,” she said, “look at this picture and tell me what you see.” Stanley looked at the picture and saw that all the lions had their mouths closed. Some were lying down and some were standing. Daniel was standing with his hands behind him looking up at a ray of light coming into the den. Stanley pointed out every detail he could think of. “Is there anything else?” she asked. He could think of nothing. She put her arm on his shoulder and said, “Preacher, what I want you to see is that Daniel doesn’t have his eyes on the lions, but on Christ.”
