Daniel 9:20-27 – Going Through Dark Times
In the second part of chapter 9, the angel Gabriel describes a vision about 70 weeks. While this is a difficult passage to interpret, the takeaway is that there will be bumps along the road but Jesus is ultimately going to win. Things do not happen in our time frame, but in God’s. However, we can have confidence to know that God will carry it to completion. A “no” or “wait” from God always results in something better later on.…

James 5:13-20 – The Importance of Prayer
Parting last words. There is an element of weight and importance to them. In these parting last words of James, the author has a very simple message: never stop praying.

Seeing what they did will give us some ideas about how we can discern the will of God for our life. If we are not obeying the directions that…
