You know I have decided that I miss my pictures in my blog but I don't want to distract from the message's that I have to share with you.
Well yesterday was not only day five of our fasting experience it was also my 58th birthday and I had a pleasant day at work and at home...of course I spent time with all of you in the morning, then spent my day at work, and then home with my wonderful husband and my daughter came by for a visit and brought a very lovely bunch of yellow roses. So all in all my day was very nice.
So in Daniel Chapter 4 we had seen the king of the Chaldean's had been removed from his throne by God...and he was removed from his throne because he had become pompous, and just to make sure I was using the right word I just looked it up and that is the correct word. We now read in the next chapter how King Nebuchadnezzar was replaced by King Belshazzar and frankly he was much better. He was having a party one evening and the king decide he wanted the gold and silver vessels that his predecessor had removed from the temple in Jerusalem; so they were brought and the king and the lords and ladies and concubines drank from these vessels and were praising the gods of gold and silver and other metals....when there appeared a hand and it was writing on the wall. Well this kind of blew the kings mind in a big way...so he called for all his conjurers and magicians and astrologers and diviners and asked them to decipher what the words that were written on the wall meant. But none of them knew what the words meant....so the queen spoke up to the king and reminded him of Daniel who was very good at explaining these kinds of things....so the king called For Daniel and when Daniel came he had to again deliver bad news to a king. Boy oh boy, I don't know about you but what a job, always having to give bad news to kings, that's a risky job! Anyway Daniel told the king keep your gifts and here is what the words mean....even though you knew what happened to your father you have kept your heart hardened against the Lord....and you brought in the vessels of the Lord's and you have praised the gods of gold, silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, but you have not given any praise to God who holds in his hands your very breath...so the words meant that the king was going to be slain and that his kingdom would be divided between the Medes and the Persians. After giving the interpretation to the king Daniel was clothed in fine robes and baling and a proclamation was made that Daniel was to be third in line from the king. A little to little to late....the king was slain that night and Darius the Mede, took over the kingdom.....hmmm I wonder what will happen next, maybe the king should have done the Daniel fast and prayed as well for restoration to our God and King! What do you think?
Well the time has come for me to hit the showers and get ready for work...isn't God great? I think so....now go be a blessing to someone, anyone!
