To be a faithful Christian in the world and culture we live in is not an easy thing. We need to remember that God is in charge of everything in a way that is stronger, deeper and more beautiful than we could ever imagine. We need to remember that God’s ways often don’t make sense to us because his timetable is different than our ours. We need to remember that God’s final triumph over every evil power is assured, promising salvation for the righteous and judgment for the wicked. We need to remember that God calls his people to testify to the reality of his kingdom long before we see it in all its fullness. And we need to remember that all of human history is moving toward the fulfillment of God’s purposes.

Over and over again, Daniel acknowledges that it seems as though the kings and kingdoms of this world are controlling everything, including God’s people. Yet, time after time Daniel never fails to assure us that they’re not in charge. God is. Their dominion is temporary. His dominion is eternal.
