When Daniel was brought up from the den, he was found to be unharmed, for he trusted in his God. —Daniel 6:23
Once you begin looking for reminders that Heaven rules, you start to see it everywhere. You’ll be reading along in your Bible, and there it is—another verse, another sighting. You’ll hear a quote you like, maybe in a sermon or on a podcast, and then you’ll notice—there it is again.
You hear things differently. You see things differently. More important, you respond to things differently.
As Daniel did. He realized no earthly situation had only an earthly explanation, which meant that each earthly situation called for more than just a typical, earthly response. A human king, for example, could order Daniel’s execution. But no human king could order Daniel’s reaction or change his beliefs and priorities. Only God could do that.
Heaven ruled the world, so heaven ruled Daniel. And so may the God of heaven rule us. This is what will fill us with courage and comfort amid all the chaos and battles we face here on earth.
