We are facing the same challenges Daniel faced. We can’t bury our heads and pretend we’re not. We’re to face them knowing that God is still on the throne.
What inspires your calling, drives your compulsions, shapes your choice of companions, and fills your conversations? Whatever, or whoever, that is , it is either God or a god to us.
We all have something in our lives that drives us. It’s our “raison d’être”, our life’s purpose. Whatever “it” is, it moulds our actions, reactions, and interactions.
The idea of ‘little green men’ visiting Earth from distant star systems and stories of alien abductions make for great entertainment, but surely they shouldn’t be taken seriously … should they?
What we put into our minds will come out, one way or another. It is time to silence the world’s voices so that God, not the world, INFORMS us.
