The Book of Daniel - Living Hopefully in Challenging Times

Daniel
Spring 2017

In this season of Spring 2017, I'll be writing weekly posts on the biblical book of Daniel.

Looking at Daniel with a post-Easter perspective reveals to us that Daniel and Jesus' disciples (even today) have something in common:

They live lives of DEDICATION
while dealing with the DELAY
in God's promised DELIVERANCE
in the midst of DISTRESS

In a way, we're all experiencing a flight delay:
  • Daniel, waiting for a flight to return him home from exile in Babylon...
  • Us, waiting for a flight to return us home to be with Jesus in his eternal kingdom...
What's your experience with flight delays?
How do you maintain hope in the midst of waiting?

Speaking of flight delays...enjoy!
