Daniel 6:26-27 ”For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever. He delivers and rescues and performs signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has also delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.” God does amazing…
Luke 1:11 Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar. In church on Sunday the pastor talked about the song the angels sang to the shepherds and it got me thinking about this whole angel thing. 1. Why did God make people if…
Daniel 9: 23 “The moment you began praying, a command was given. I am here to tell you what it was, for God loves you very much…” First of all, Daniel was getting to know Gabriel pretty well. Second, the insight that he gives to Daniel is about as clear as mud. But that’s beside…

Daniel 1: 17 God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams. Daniel wasn’t born with the ability to interpret dreams. He was given this gift when he needed it, when he…
Daniel 1:4b Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon. As an English teacher, this is fascinating to me… My students always want to know why they have to read this stuff (and sometimes I wonder, too). But here, the King of Babylon, arguably the most powerful man in the known world…
