Daniel
Read Chapter 18

Most of us quote the Bible much more often than we think
 
"the writing on the wall . . . . " Daniel 5:7 (MSG)

Are you good at "reading the writing on the wall"

The last king of Babylon wasn’t. He had asked Daniel to interpret a dream. The dream was a message from God that it’s too late. The king had ignored God even though his father, Nebuchadnezzar had repented and turned to the God of Israel. Immediately after Daniel told the King that his sins would be his end, the Persians and Medes stormed the city and Babylon fell. 

Each of us must be able to “read” the writing on the wall, the signs of the times, not as doomsayers, but as people who can represent God well to others who are open to his Lordship.

PRAYER

“Lord, I wonder about America. Have our sins of abortion on demand, capitalistic greed, the decline of civility, the new lowest common denominator morality which hurts so many . . . . left writing on America’s wall that we need to read? Let us not be fish in water who don’t know we’re wet. Amen”
