"Hope Thou in God!" Trying to encourage myself in the Lord and see His wise guidance. I would hope that my 6 children would read and see the way to go and not to go.

Christ is Faithful to our souls!
When we can't, He can. When we aren't, He is. What a view of God's power that Daniel had. The comparison of our confusion, to God's glory. To us belongs confusion. Even the greatest kingdom in the world that has world domination, as Babylon was, is but a bunch of confusion in the face of God's order.
It is a wonder that with all of the lord of this and that thrown around, like water in the kingdom of Babylon, Daniel could see God above all of the confusion. When we exalt people in that way, giving them dominion over and over and over and accollades left and right (letters and numbers behind their names), we are truly confusing ourselves as to who is really Lord over all.
Daniel could see. Daniel could pray and He saw the only sacrifice for sins, wasn't even the blood of bulls and goats or the gatherings, but Christ who was to come. That was an awesome view of God's fidelity to His promise to Adam and His promises subsequent to that. His fidelity is in and through Christ, not our dominion and not our fidelity, but His. Christ, help us to see Your order, through the chaos. Amen.
