READ/HEAR: Dan. 9

Daniel concluded that God’s compassion was Israel’s only hope for the future. After God had revealed to him events to come, he was greatly distressed by the continual sin and rebellion of God’s people and how it had caused them (70 years prior) to be taken away captive to Babylon.

Isn’t this the continual cycle of life? We find ourselves in a pickle because of the way we always resort to our own solutions for life’s problems.  We call upon God as a last resort when we’ve made a complete mess of things.

God’s Spirit comes to us and reveals Christ’s compassion and forgiveness. We confess our sins and find His comfort. He adjusts our vision and we finally take some solid steps to healing and victory.

“Come unto Me, you who need to recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”  Matt. 11:28-30
