Much Beloved

0:00You're listening to the Experiencing God Day-by-day podcast brought to you by Black Living Ministries International. September 16th, much beloved, Daniel 9, verse 23, At the beginning of your petitions and answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasured by God, so consider the message and understand the vision. For you are treasured by God, could there be any words from God more welcomed than these? Daniel was an exiled in Babylon as a result of his nation's utter defeat by the Babylonians. He desperately wanted to make sense of his circumstances, so he did what he had done so many times before. He prayed. God immediately dispatched the angel Gabriel. Gabriel revealed that God had sent him to Daniel at the beginning of his supplications.

There have been times when Daniel's love for God had been put to the test. Now when Daniel was in need, God was quick to respond in love to him. God wants to answer the prayers of those whose hearts are completely his. In Chronicles 16, verse 9, God can accurately orient you to the events of your day. Media, public opinion, and political leaders cannot tell you the truth of your circumstances. Only God can. God loves you and will speak to you in his time. His answer may come immediately as it did in Daniel's case, or it may be delayed, but it will come. Daniel 10, verse 13. If it seems as though everything is crumbling around you, and you wonder why you do not see God's activity, take comfort in knowing that you are loved in heaven. If you are genuinely seeking God's answers, you can go to your father confidently with
