Morning by Morning, July 26 - The God Who “Removes Kings and Raises Up Kings”

 

Morning by Morning, July 26 - The God Who “Removes Kings and Raises Up Kings”


Good morning, Lord Jesus. My human spirit arises to commune with Your Holy Spirit--“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with (us) all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). ...


When the Prophet Daniel was captive in Babylon and King Nebuchadnezzar demanded that the wise men reveal and interpret his dream, Daniel prayed and “the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven” (Daniel 2:19).


“Daniel answered and said:

‘Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,

For wisdom and might are His.

And He changes the times and the seasons;

He removes kings and raises up kings;

He gives wisdom to the wise

And knowledge to those who have understanding.

He reveals deep and secret things;

He knows what is in the darkness,

And light dwells with Him.


“‘I thank You and praise You,

O God of my fathers;

You have given me wisdom and might,

And have now made known to me what we asked of You,

For You have made known to us the king’s demand’” (Daniel 2:20-23).


As Daniel made known both the dream of the king and its interpretation from his revelation from God, he declared, “There is a God in heaven who reveals secrets” (v. 28). And the secrets revealed in the dream were of the governments of that day of all the governments to come on the earth afterwards (v. 36). Those kingdoms would come and go. But there would come a day when “the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever! (v. 44)


It’s the same revelation given to the Apostle John, that there will come a day when this Word will be fulfilled: “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15)


You are the God who reveals secrets. You are the God who answers prayer. You are the God who “removes kings and raises up kings” (Daniel 2:21).


In this season where there’s a shifting in the governments of our world, where the rulers of nations are being determined, where “kings” are being removed or raised up, I join in the prayers of Your people around the world, for You to establish those in authority--in our nation and in the nations of the earth--who seek Your face, listen for Your voice, pursue Your wisdom, and lead with Your heart in Your ways.


We know there are great battles in the heavenly realms over the nations (Daniel 10:13, 20). But despite the battles and even the outcomes that will come to pass according to the Prophecies of Your Word, our part is to pray, our part is to proclaim, “Your kingdom come! Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven!” (Matthew 6:10)


You’re the God who still reveals secrets. And You’re the God who still answers prayers. O God of heaven and earth, answer our prayers that we would be “one nation under God” and that the God of the nations would be glorified as You remove and raise up “kings.” In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays


My friend, may you be moved in prayer and proclamation that God's kingdom comes, that God's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, as He removes and raises up "kings" in the earth, in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
