I do not suppose that Daniel knew how God would deliver him out of the den of lions. I do not suppose that Joseph knew how he would be delivered out of prison when his master’s wife had slandered his character so shamefully. I do not suppose that these ancient believers even dreamed of the way of the Lord’s deliverance. They just left themselves in God’s hands. They rested on God, and He delivered them in the best possible manner. He will do the same for you. Simply call upon Him, and then “stand still and see the salvation of the LORD” (Exodus 14:13)
