Daniel 2:20-22 (NKJV) 20 Daniel answered and said: \u201cBlessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. 21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes things can be hard to swallow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being a child of God doesn\u2019t negate that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are sometimes things that God does that can baffle us. And I will readily admit that sometimes I get frustrated with the way I see things go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, as a child of God, I also understand fully that God\u2019s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. And so, I rest in that knowing that my ways would likely render less than ideal results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As I mentioned in a previous devotional, Daniel saw beyond the natural and understood the deeper spiritual things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This gave Daniel a unique perspective that allowed God to use him in unusual and very powerful ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With regard to that, Daniel stated that God not only changes the times and seasons, but He also removes kings and raises up kings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is one of those things that my flesh has a hard time with, since some of the \u201ckings\u201d that we see operating are clearly operating at less than godly standards. Some are outright evil in their behaviors and their methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, because I am a child of God, and He has given me His Spirit, I am learning more every day about trusting Him and being content with knowing that He is still on His throne and still in charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This saves me a lot of headaches because it causes me to question less of that I see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Does this mean that I shut my mouth and simply watch as evil thrives? Absolutely not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But it does mean that I am spending more time seeking God, and working harder to discern what we are all seeing, hoping to better understand it all from a spiritual point of view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019d like to invite you to do the same; to allow God to shape our view in a more spiritually-minded, Biblically-educated way that helps us better discern the things we\u2019re seeing happen around us, and trust Him with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And, as part of that, to lay my concerns at His feet, letting Him guide my thoughts and my steps so that I might bring Him more glory and honor with each day that I live for Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
