Daniel 9:1-27 | The Great & Awesome Name of God

“How much longer will the exile last?” This was likely a question Daniel asked himself as he read Jeremiah’s words once again. Given the two visions already shown to him, Daniel needed to make sense of God’s complete control over all things and the hardship still facing God’s people. How do you respond when confronted by God’s word? Daniel turns to the LORD in a prayer of repentance—not just for his sake, but for the sake of Israel. As God’s people who wonder what is happening in this world, let us follow Daniel’s pattern and rightly devote ourselves to God and trust that all things are in his hand.
