This painting, by the artist Peter Paul Reubens, illustrates the biblical story of Daniel in the Lion's Den. It invites us to reflect upon the phenomenal power that faith can play in our protection during times of trial and tribulation. 

From the story of Daniel in the lion's den, we can learn many lessons. It appears that Daniel's faith and hope in God had the astounding effect of neutralizing his enemy's ill intentions and preserving him from the natural inclinations of the ferocious lions.
