A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended
him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before
him.
The court was seated,
and the books were opened.
7:10
Footnote: Daniel saw God judging millions of people as
they stood before him. We all must stand before almighty God and give an account
of our lives. If your life were judged by God today, what would he say about
it? How would he measure it against his will for us? We should live each day
with the full awareness that we must appear before God to give account for how
we used our lives. How will your life measure up?
So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him
in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
9:3
Footnote: Daniel knew how to pray. As he prayed, he
fasted, confessed his sins, and pleaded that God would reveal his will. He
prayed with complete surrender to God and with complete openness to what God was
saying to him. When you pray, do you speak openly to God? Examine your
attitude. Talk to God with openness, vulnerability, and honesty, and be ready
for God's reply.
