God Holds Our Future!
"As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on
your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He
who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be"
Daniel 2: 29
In the first half of the twentieth century, the American federal
government and courts
began ruling that buying and selling
stocks based on the
non-public information, what came to be
called “insider trading”
was illegal. Think of those advantages
one would have if future
information about a company—or a
nation—were to be gained.
That was the kind of knowledge the prophet Daniel had—not on
his own, but by virtue of God’s revelation to him (Daniel 2:27-28).
Daniel foretold to the king of Babylon, the existing king of kings of
the world, that his kingdom will fall and be followed by three more.
And all those kingdoms would be replaced by the kingdom of
“the God of heaven” (Daniel 2:44).
Daniel didn’t reveal this information to profit from it personally,
but to cause Nebuchadnezzar to humble himself before the
God who “removes kings and raises up kings” (Daniel 2:21).
We may not fully understand and know everything the future
holds, but we place our faith and trust in the One who does.
Our future is in good hands—place your trust in Him.
"Never be afraid to trust an
unknown future to a known God."
