DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 6:1-23; Jeremiah 39-40; Hebrews 10:1-18
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain
of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men
of Babylon. Daniel 2:14
Daniel, together with the so called wise men of Babylon, was
under a death sentence, but he did not panic or despair. He acted
with wisdom and counsel. As Christians we should be careful in the
heat of the moment not to respond hastily, in a way which could
exacerbate our problems. Take time to think things through and seek
help from the Lord before responding. He will not let you down.

Through waves and clouds and storms, His power will clear the way;
Wait thou His time; the darkest night, shall end in brightest day.
