verses read: Daniel 7:1-7, Proverbs 11:9
prayer: 5 minutes
It's a little tricky for this part of the book; as the book now moves into the apocalyptic. A lot harder to write down what was written, so the trick is to read it slowly. But anyway, this passage is about a vision Daniel has. He sees four beasts; a lion, a bear, a leopard and some other terrifying beast that has 10 horns.
I realise that God is really unchanging, what He has in mind a few months ago is still what He has in mind. It's us who are unfaithful and to some extent unwilling or even afraid to accept what He wants for us. Even though, sometimes, what He wants for us is what we want, is what we desire. I feel that way. Laid another one yesterday, feel quite hopeless in this fight, so I think I will change strategy and try to overcome with God's strength rather than doing all this.
I realise that God's favour is with me. He has granted me the favour in a lot of prayers that I made some months back. But at the same time, He granted His favour too late. Maybe it's too late in my eyes, but in His eyes they are of the perfect timing. Well, that can only mean He has a higher plan. But this makes me feel really depressed.
With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbour, but through knowledge the righteous escape. - Proverbs 11:9
