The Now and The Not Yet - Part 2

Part 2 From Yesterday’s Post

People are starting to wake up to the mess that’s going on around them. They are starting to see that they are like frogs in a pot of water slowly being boiled to death. It’s getting uncomfortable and people are looking for a way out of the pot.

Once again, I must go back to the Bible for an answer. The book of Daniel seems so appropriate for our day and times. Through arrogance and falling away from following their Holy God the Israelites were captured and taken into captivity by the Babylonians. Daniel went with them. Hopefully most of you know the story of Daniel, if not I would encourage you to go to the Old Testament in your Bible and read Daniel. It’s awesome.

Daniel remained close and faithful to God in all that was going on around him. Daniel got on his knees and cried out 3 times a day begging for forgiveness and a repentant heart for his people. Daniel believed in God’s grace and mercy and also asked God to forgive and to restore his people, Israel. He knew that if they didn’t cry out, there wouldn’t be any restoration. God created Daniel to be in that specific time in history so that he could cry out to God with humility, faithfulness and hope that God will answer one day. God always listens to a humble heart.
