Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

September 16

 
Daniel 7-9
In the midst of this prophecy of the coming judgment and the establishment of the eternal kingdom through Jesus Christ, Daniel makes this statement: We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. Daniel 9:18b. He understood that we are unworthy, that we are completely dependent upon God's mercy and grace. With this knowledge, we can approach the throne of grace boldly, being assured that our Lord loves us and desires to extend His hand of mercy toward us, hearing our requests and acting upon them.
