Word of God

Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God

Matthew 4:4

 The Book of Daniel 6:27 

27 He rescueth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Brethren:

 He delivers his faithful servants from trouble and rescues them out of trouble.(See Psalm 46:1). He works signs and wonders, quite above the utmost power of nature to effect, both in heaven and on earth, by which it appears that he is sovereign Lord of both.  He has given a fresh proof of all this in delivering his servant Daniel from the power of the lions. This miracle, and that of the delivering of the three children, were wrought in the eyes of the world, were seen, published, and attested by two of the greatest monarchs that ever were, and were illustrious confirmations of the first principles of religion, abstracted from the narrow scheme of Judaism, effectual confutations of all the errors of heathenism, and very proper preparations for pure Christianity.  He puts honor upon Daniel. So this Daniel prospered. See how God brought to him good out of evil.(See Psalm 27:2). This bold stroke which his enemies made at his life was a happy occasion of taking them off, and their children too, who otherwise would still have stood in the way of his preferment, and have been upon all occasions vexatious to him; and now he prospered more than ever, was more in favor with his prince and in reputation with the people, which gave him a great opportunity of doing good to his brethren(See Psalm 3:3, 7). 

So as he did the three companions of Daniel from the fiery furnace, and now Daniel himself from the lions' den: and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth; which are out of the common course of nature, and not according to the laws of it; such as hindering the natural force of fire from burning, as in the case of the three children; and stopping the mouths of lions from devouring Daniel as follows: who hath delivered(See Psalm 23:4-6),  Daniel from the power of the lions; or "from the hand" of them; from their destroying paws, and devouring jaws; which was nothing less than a miracle, and a proof of the divine omnipotence and of his power of doing wonders.
