God’s Timing

DAY 247
6-5-10
DANIEL 10-12


Good Morning!

I love the visions of Daniel. In chapter 10-12 Daniel is made aware of the battles and the working out of God’s plans among the nations to bring the Messiah. God and his angels are working this plan out; and it will unfold in God’s timing.

This reminds me of how often God’s word tell us about the unfolding of his plans and his timing.

Dan 2:21 “He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them.”


Dan 12:7 "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."

Acts 1:7 "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.”


Rom 5:6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.


Gal 4:4 When the time had fully come, God sent his Son.

Daniel was so distressed at what he was shown. He stressed over what was happening and when. That is the way of man. We want to know everything. We want to God’s plans and timing. God lets us know what he wants us to know when he wants us to know it. What we should keep in mind is that whether we get it or not, “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Rom. 8:28)

Rest content, God is working. He is in control.
