She Reads Truth - DanielSample

The Answer

Oh, Sisters, do I wish I had a visit from Gabriel. Who doesn't sometimes pray for God to send an angel to her in swift flight, to give insight and understanding?

It feels like I need this heavenly visitor daily. I need him when I'm grieving the loss of my loved one. I need him when the world cuts at my soul and tries to chip away at my faith. I need him when the diagnosis is given, when addictions are robbing, when hospitals are second homes, when decisions - big, life-changing decisions - have to be made. Amidst all the confusion, the chaos, the pain, the joy, the births and the deaths, I want those answers. I want to understand. I want to see the bigger picture. I want to know His vision.

When Gabriel visits Daniel, it's not by accident. Daniel brought him there. Daniel was praying. He was confessing his sin. He was seeking the Lord. And that's when the answers came.

Gabriel speaks of weeks equaling years, of sin and an end of sin, of destruction and of rebuilding. Frankly, the math, miraculous as it may be in its prophecy, makes my head spin. But the end of these calculations brings us to this: Jesus. He is the Answer.

We need Him when we're grieving, when the world cuts, amidst the confusion the chaos, the pain, the joy and the situations that seem to have no answer.

We need this Heavenly Visitor daily. And like Daniel, He comes to us when we pray. He pulls us closer when we confess our sin. He gives us rest from answer-seeking when we seek Him and love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and all our strength.

Whatever you are walking through today, whatever you are fighting to understand, make sense of or see -

He is the Answer.
