Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you came.
We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel, as we lead ourselves into The Throne Room. We start with Chapter 8 today. Just like Chapter 7, Chapter 8 is contained in a vision and its interpretation. Chapter 7 was in the first year of Belshazzar, while 8 was in his third year.
Unlike Chapter 7, which is a 1:1 correlation to Chapter 2, Chapter 8 here focused on only a part of the timeline covered in Chapters 2 and 7. I guess the key thing is the repetitions. It sure is important to God that we know these events did not happen of their own accord.
Could we add the second world war to the mix? What of the Russia-Ukraine war, and other widespread disasters and wars? I guess we can at least transfer the understanding that God is in control. Our place is not to lose hope, but to find his hand, while resting on His heart.
That is a big lesson I am learning to find rest in. The truth God is in control. Nothing happens without His permission and set limits. I am learning not to fight with life, but rather find my own rhythm in the midst of it all. Find my rhythm and rock it. Find my wave and surf it. That is my counsel to you.
Let us pray.
The Saint.
