Daniel was considered to be a statesman. In the past, many of our politicians were considered to be statesman. The book of Daniel is also considered to be prophetic.
Tyler pointed out that this is a very vivid book. Indeed it is, with the stories about the fiery furnace and the lions' den.
Sean says that Dr. Reid pointed out that his story is another example that God can use you in any place and change what would seem unchangeable.
We have a new president and a new administration as well as a new mix of the House of Representatives and Senators.
Much has been made in recent days about civil rights, and how the recent election was a great victory in that area. I don't applaud everything represented by this election, but I do applaud that victory. Now, I hope our elected representatives will be "statemen" like Daniel who will stand up for what is right according to the Word of God and not for "political correctness" nor for political power. The next great victory in the area of civil rights could be rights for all of our citizens, especially for the most innocent among us. That would be the right to life for the unborn!
Somehow, I don't see that happening, concerning the current climate. However, what could be accomplished if people realized that "God can use you in any place and change what would seem unchangeable"? How could we change the hearts of our elected officials? We may not know, but God may change that which seems unchangeable.
One of the things I see that would be very important would be for the people to continue to put pressure on our elected officials--especially since it seems there is not as much of a check and balance as in the past.
The political correct turn on civil rights will probably be to focus on special rights for a "minority" that is involved in unbiblical behavior. How much better it would be for the rights of the unborn to come to the forefront. Could that happen?
Who knows, but according to Dr. Reid, "God can use you [like Daniel] in any place and change what would seem unchangeable."
