There
is real urgency about Daniel's prayer: "O Lord, look with favour on
Your desolate sanctuary ... O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord,
hear and act!" (Daniel 9:17,19). We do need to pray with urgency. There
are many who seek to lead us astray (1 John 3:7) - "Bloodthirsty men
hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright" (Proverbs 29:10).
Who can help us in this situation? - Only the Lord: "The reason the Son
of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work" (1 John 3:8). He alone
will give us strength to "continue in Him, so that when He appears we
may be confident and unashamed before Him at His Coming" (1 John 2:28).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
