Weekly Devotional – 2010 The Red Thread Series
A wonderful “Red Thread” of salvation runs throughout the Bible, and each week we are looking at a different book of the Bible to see that Thread that leads to Jesus and God's perfect plan for redeeming mankind to Himself.
JUNE - WEEK THREE
Book of the Bible: Daniel Theme of the Book: Daniel stands out as a man of God who from youth, through exile and loss of family and homeland, walked with loyalty and faith in God through the midst of testings and hardships. This is a great book to read and study for young people. Main Character(s): Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego, Belshazzar, Darius The “Red Thread”: The vision Daniel shares of the Son of Man coming as the "Ancient of Days" is magnificent. The "Ancient of Days" addresses the eternal-everlasting nature of the Son of Man's position. This name, Son of Man, Jesus used of Himself in Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26 and Luke 21:27. Key Verses: Daniel 7:13-14
'I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
APPLICATION: Daniel knew that life was difficult, but he remained faithful to God.
- How am I like Daniel in my present circumstances?
- How am I unlike Daniel?
- How can I trust God to help me be a loyal follower of Him as Daniel was?
