September 11, 2001 (Daniel 1-2; Revelation 16)
From the Life Journal of Adam Proux:
Scripture: “It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.” Daniel 2:22 NASB
Observation: All wisdom , power, and understanding come from God. Many times we try to operate in our own strength and wisdom only to find we don’t have what it takes. God alone reveals the profound and hidden things. He reveals them in His time. He knows what’s in the darkness because the light dwells with Him.
Application: To be completely dependant on God is a humbling experience. You realize just how inadequate you are at these moments. It’s in the moment you surrender to God that He reveals the profound and hidden things. He guides and protects you in the darkness because the light dwells with Him. Our faith and confidence in Him is strengthened when we put our trust in Him to see us through the darkness. He never fails, for His love is everlasting from generation to generation.
Prayer: Dear Lord thank You for Your mercy, goodness and grace. Forgive me for not trusting completely in You in the past. Help me trust You completely today. Forgive me for feeling like You failed me at times, for I’ve learned it was all for my good. Protect me from the evil that lurks in the darkness and deliver me from the snare of my enemies. I know You are working and nothing catches You by surprise. Thank You Lord for Your everlasting love and the salvation found in Your Son Jesus. In Jesus name, Amen.
