Daniel (Program #14) – The Visions of the Overcoming Daniel (4)
The prophet Daniel is often held up as an example of what a godly person should be like. He was faithful, obedient, diligent and steadfast and he also prayed much. Surely this was one of the giants of the Old Testament. But not only so, he received visions from God about future events and experienced dramatic miracles. It is easy to esteem and envy such a one. But of all his attributes, it is his prayer life that serves as the top example. Because Daniel knew the secret of how to approach the righteous and holy God. He knew never to approach God on the basis of his righteousness and good deeds. But rather according to God’s compassion and mercy. Whereas most people take their own need and desires as the focus of their prayer. Daniel prayed always according to God’s Word and God’s need rather than his own. How did God answer such meaningful and effective prayer. Well, the answer comes from Daniel chapter 9 in the vision of the seventy weeks.
