To Daniel was given revealing insights into future events. One prominent leader identified in his prophetic dream was said to have power not of his own. It’s as if world leaders are pawns of greater powers. These leaders can’t be stopped by mere humans, but are all subject to the One Who has ALL POWER, the Lord Himself.

It is comforting to be under the protective care of the Lord. Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” [Jn. 16:33]

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, we take refuge in You. We claim the promises of Psalm 91 and trust in the protection only You can offer.
