The Bible and Music

As a child, along with going to church, I was exposed to Bible stories through VeggieTales. My favorite episode is entitled “Where’s God When I’m Scared” and the main lesson of the episode is based on Isaiah 41:10 – So do not fear for I am with you. God is Bigger is a song that Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber sing to Jr Asparagus when he is scared and it explains how God is on your side, so there is no reason to fear.

The story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den is also included as the second part of the episode and has several songs included, my favorite of which is about the Wise men being peaved that King Darius likes Daniel more than the Wise men themselves because Daniel was able to explain the kings dream and they weren’t. Oh No! What we gonna do?  is about the wise men scheming about what to do to get Daniel out of the picture and it was always entertaining to me as a child. Another song is included about Daniel not fearing because God is there to protect him, even  in the Lion’s Den, it is called Fear Not, Daniel. Both Fear Not, Daniel and God is Bigger directly related to Isaiah 41:10
