Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you could make it.
We continue our meditation in The Book of Daniel, leading ourselves into The Throne Room. Today we close Chapter 6 of the Book with its last verse, Daniel 6:28. It reads,
"So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
Wow! That makes a total of 4 Kings Daniel worked, served, and reigned in and through. That reminds me of a question a high flyer once asked me. She said, hasn't she been proven by remaining a high flyer under several leadership and management?"
If the first was a fluke, what of the second, third, and fourth. That is what we call tested and tried. Whatever it was that Daniel had as a strategy, principles, and laws were repeatable, enduring, and blind to systems. It triumphed them all.
And, as we have been reading through Chapters 1 to now 6, we have been learning from his track. At the center of Daniel's Way is God. He is the key, the driver, and the engine of the Daniel strategy. This is amenable to the very same principle that keeps the whole of the universe working.
That reminds me of the imagery Isaiah shares with us in Chapter 40. Isaiah 40:22-23 reads,
"It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless."
It is in Him we live, move, and have our being. Our success, victory, and all are found in Him, and Him alone.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
