The Faith of a Prophet: Daniel 7:15-18

Daniel

The Faith of a Prophet: Daniel 7:15-18

God reigns supreme.  He is the ultimate authority.  It is, after all, His creation.  Why wouldn’t He be the final authority? Daniel makes an honest confession in this passage.  Daniel doesn’t know how to interpret what he saw in the vision.  Consider what this means.  It is easy

Son of Man: Daniel 7:13-14

Daniel

Son of Man: Daniel 7:13-14

Anyone can be a part of the indestructible kingdom of the Son of Man.  There is no secret handshake or password.  There is no secret invitation you need to receive.  All that is necessary to become a part of the kingdom of the Son of Man is to receive God’

God Reigns: Daniel 7:9-12

Daniel

God Reigns: Daniel 7:9-12

God’s supremacy is our greatest comfort in a turbulent world.  Everything changes.  Things come and go.  Yet, God remains the same.  God remains supreme. As Daniel continues his vision, he turns his head towards God.  Thrones are established; the Ancient of Days takes His seat.  The Ancient of Days

Daniel

The Terrifying Beasts: Daniel 7:1-8

The more we rely upon God, the less likely we are to be consumed by our own power. The remaining chapters in the book of Daniel change flavor from the previous stories.  The rest of the book contains visions God gave to Daniel about God’s perception of the world.

Victory: Daniel 6:24-28

Victory: Daniel 6:24-28

Once more God shows His incredible ability to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.  This is one of my favorite attributes about God.  It doesn’t matter how dark the night is.  It doesn’t matter how many opponents line up against Him.  God can be victorious.  In the

In His Hands: Daniel 6:19-23

In His Hands: Daniel 6:19-23

We can trust God to have our day-to-day activities in His hands as much as we can trust Him to have our eternal existence in His hands.  He is the God who created the world, and He certainly is the God who can sustain us forever.  Yet as big and

Letting Go: Daniel 6:14-18

Letting Go: Daniel 6:14-18

It is amazing how easily people who entrust their life to God can let go of all control over their life.  I don’t say this lightly.  I like control.  I like to plan.  I like to work hard and see the fruit of my efforts.  I don’t think

In God's Hands: Daniel 6:10-13

Daniel

In God's Hands: Daniel 6:10-13

Daniel’s fate rests in the hands of God.  That’s a wonderful, albeit difficult, place to reside.  God is our creator; He can do anything.  Who better to control our fate?  At the same time, though, we often like to control our own destiny.  We like to ensure the

The Trap: Daniel 6:1-9

The Trap: Daniel 6:1-9

We are called to be in relationship with God.  He created us.  He gives us identity.  He calls us into purpose.  Relationship with Him is the greatest relationship we’ll ever know. Darius, the new king in town underneath the rule of Cyrus, immediately recognizes Daniel’s value.  He may

Daniel

Belshazzar The Fool: Daniel 5:24-30

Good leaders know when they’ve chosen poorly and acknowledge the accountability they have with their constituents.  Good leaders don’t abandon their people when they are in need.  Good leaders don’t think of themselves first.  Good leaders attempt to work for what will benefit the people over whom

Belshazzar vs. Nebuchadnezzar: Daniel 5:17-23

Daniel

Belshazzar vs. Nebuchadnezzar: Daniel 5:17-23

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.  The proud think of themselves higher than they ought.  The proud consider themselves first.  That is not how God desires us to live.  It is better to think of ourselves as crucified so Christ can live in us. There is

Daniel

Inviting Wisdom In: Daniel 5:10-16

If we don’t take the time to invite wisdom into our life, we may end up like King Belshazzar and not be able to see the writing on the wall.  Nobody can predict the future.  Some people have developed the ability to see the world around them clearly enough
