Daniel Prayed 2/25-28/19

25-28 February 2019 - Daniel Prayed – Manna by Dorothy and Tony Callies
Daniel 9:21 “While I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel . . . reached me.”

Poem: Oh, How Daniel Prayed
Oh, how Daniel prayed,
     Morning, noon, and night.
Oh, Daniel prayed, oh how he prayed.
     Daniel prayed with all his might.

Daniel saw a great vision
     And it troubled him,
Daniel prayed for understanding,
    God sent an angel to clear his dim.

Angel name was Gabriel
     Helping Daniel out,
Seeing all those visions,
     And what was all about.  

Daniel asked God for an answer
     About the here and now,
But God has a great plan,
     Simply trust, not thinking ‘how.’
   
Daniel’s visions’ so overwhelming,
     Was really God’s answers had to do
With events thousands of years to come,
     Into the future, we’ll know them soon.

So let us pray like Daniel prayed,
     So inspired by God’s great future.
Let us prepared our hearts to hear
     His Word of comfort and secure.
(Inspired to write by Dorothy Callies Feb. 26, 2019)

God bless you!

Note: I was inspired when I read “Our Daily Bread” devotion about Daniel.  Daniel poured out his heart to God when he had read Jeremiah’s scroll and rediscovered God’s promise that Israel’s captivity in Babylon would last 70 years.  So Daniel prayed earnestly that God would rescue His people and send them back home to Jerusalem.

And then comes visions of future plans, God had a big picture of what is to come. For us, it means that God had already plan to answer prayers, and it is His timing . . . and for us to trust Him!  Just a word of encouragement to keep trusting God.
