In God’s opinion of History, the Kingdom of Babylon was the richest and most glorious of all in character. Babylon was the head of gold in the image God revealed to NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
As its realm spread across the then-known world, it left in its wake the dust of crushed opponents foolish enough to challenge God’s chosen instrument of judgment. To the helm of that incredible Empire rose an incredible young man of God, Daniel. But have you ever considered what it must have been like to be prime minister to the greatest empire in the world in its time?
Untold streams of decisions, meetings, conferences, banquets, clay tablet work (Like our paperwork), holdups on the freeways in your chariot, as well as all the everyday needs of life. Like going to the sandal shop, stopping at the repair shop to have new wheels put on the chariot, and the needs of the horses, ALL that considered, Daniel was a very responsible man, committed and most of all BUSY!
How did he cope with life at the top? He knelt on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks to his God, AS HE ALWAYS DID! In the midst of his cabinet position in a worldwide empire and all the pressures that came with such a position, DANIEL FAITHFULLY PRAYED. Not just at a meal, no, he found a way to stop it all, go to a quiet, private chamber, KNEEL and come into the presence of God in thanksgiving. When life is tough, when it seems like the bad guys are winning, remember there is a God in Heaven Who Rules! When you are spied upon, attacked, and cast into the lion’s den by your adversaries, remember there is a God in Heaven Who Rules!
