Time Yet To Come
Daniel 10:14 “Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” As I sit here at work, I often wonder what things will be like in the future. We all do that. The new job you just got, the

Bonking Spiritually
Daniel 10:15-19 15 “While he was speaking to me, I looked down at the ground, unable to say a word. 16 Then the one who looked like a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak. I said to the one standing in front of me, “I am filled with anguish because of the

Don’t Wing It
Daniel 9:2 “in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.” We have all been there, guilty of not studying enough for a test, not going over the lesson plans, or

Beyond Understanding
Daniel 8:27 “I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.” Being a scientist of sorts, I can remember leaving class and completely understanding what the professor was speaking about, and also those

No Change Of Heart
Daniel 2:47, 3:28 “47 The king said to Daniel, “For sure your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and He makes hidden things known. For you have been able to make known this secret.”” “28 Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He has sent His angel and saved

Trusting Through Trouble
Daniel 7:28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.” As parents, we hope our children will come to us if and when anything goes wrong. In part, this is a noble thought that requires a

Write It Down
Daniel 6:1 “…He wrote down the substance of his dream.” It was not until recently that we could record people and play it back. Before the technology we use for recording things, we had to get the transcript of the speech or read a commentary of the one we were listening to. Someone had to

Reputation of Faith
Daniel 6:16 “So the king gave an order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lion’s den. The king said to Daniel ‘May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!’” My close friends know me pretty well. They know I like to ride bikes, and I can hold my own against any handyman

Writing on the Wall
Daniel 5:23-25 23 but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do

Divine Warnings in the Maze
Daniel 4:37 “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.” “I told you so!” This is what comes out of the mouth of someone who, well, warned us about what was coming. As parents, we can
