Text for the Day -- Daniel 9:20-22, 25
----------
While I was speaking, and was praying and confessing my sin and the
sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the
Lord my God on behalf of the holy mountain of my God- while I was
speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen before in a
vision, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening
sacrifice. He came and said to me, 'Daniel, I have now come out to
give you wisdom and understanding. Know therefore and understand:
from the time that the word went out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem
until the time of an anointed prince, there shall be seven weeks; and
for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with streets and moat,
but in a troubled time.'
Devotional
----------
It had been prophesied that a remnant would survive the great exile
and would become a seed from which the nation would emerge anew and
God would restore the people of Israel. Daniel is given a vision and
a message to confirm the prophecy. God had made an everlasting
covenant with the people and continued to restore them to provide a
witness through his committed people to the world.
Prayer
---------------
I renew my commitment to bear witness to your renewing love, O Lord.
Amen
